| Goal | To help offset costs for JBE Odyssey of the Mind team members and their families to travel to our State Competition. |
| Description | Odyssey of the Mind is a national organization that fosters creativity and problem-solving. Students are given a "problem" to solve in the form of a skit and are awarded points based on their performance and creativity. They also compete in a Spontaneous challenge, in which they enter a room with judges (and no coaches) and are given a problem to solve on the spot! Our Jensen Beach Elementary Vikings went to the regional competition on February 22nd, and placed FIRST in our division and problem, with the highest score in long-term, and missing the highest score in spontaneous by just .3 points! We have advanced to States and will need to travel to Orlando the weekend of April 12th. We have seven team members, their families, and a coach who would really appreciate any help that can be provided in terms of travel expenses and accommodations. We will be as economical as possible, by carpooling and partnering up to share rooms. If parents would like their own room, they will cover the cost difference. |
| Benefits | Our Odyssey team has worked so hard and we are so proud of their strong representation at the regional competition. Providing assistance with travel will ensure they can focus on our performance and the competition. Thank you for your consideration. |
