Congratulations to the Odyssey of the Mind team from Washingtonville Middle School for their 1st Place ranking at last Saturday's Odyssey of the Mind NYS Region 5 competition!
The team competed in the problem "Classics... The Walls of Troy," which challenged students to show "there is more than one way to get past any type of barrier." The OMers had to create their own "Trojan Horse" to get past a wall in a performance that had to also include:
a character from The Iliad
an original Greek Chorus
an unusual statue
The charismatic Greek chorus of Joey and Zoey was an absolute smash hit with audience members from all districts! Congratulations to everyone on the incredible performances, sets, and props, and the much-deserved top finish.
Great work, OMers!
