Two of our Montclair Odyssey of the Mind teams traveled to Orlando last weekend to participate in the State Odyssey of the Mind competition. We had an action-packed, 12-hour day with lots of creativity, problem-solving, and theatrics. Our Peter Pan's play swept us away to Neverland and our structure team's balsa wood structure held 100 pounds! We competed against almost 2,000 other students from across the state, with 20 other teams in each of their divisions. The students had so much fun watching other teams and seeing how they solved their problems, including high school and college teams! We are so proud of our teams for representing not only Montclair Elementary, but all of Clay County! Congratulations to both teams and their fearless coaches Mrs. Tomazinis and Ms. Mercer!
