"We are very excited to be sending 2 teams to the Odyssey of the Minds state tournament this Saturday March 22 at CVU high school. We have one Division 1 team made of 6 students in grades 3-5. This team solved the "Stackable Structures" problem in which they created a representation of Earth with balsa structures, then will test how much weight they can hold stacked together . The second is a Division 2 team consisting of five 7 students in 7 & 8th grade. Their problem is "The not so Haunted House". They had to create an original skit and build a haunted house with 4 special effects with a surprise ending. These teams have worked very hard over the last 6 months to be able to compete on Saturday. We wish them all good luck and congratulate them on a great accomplishment. "
