Odyssey of The Mind BC
Generating Future Problem Solvers

Catherine, Marzuqa and Matthew from the Eagle Ridge Elementary each won Omer Awards for their dedication. These 3 students exemplify the "Go For It" behaviour and spirit that Odyssey of the Mind is all about. After spending more than 2 months searching for a Coach and full team, they asked if they could enter the qualifying tournament with only 3 people and no Coach.

These three grade 3 and 4 students took full responsibility for getting themselves through to the Provincial Tournament. They call their own practices, and managed to talk their teachers into letting them use their silent reading time to work independently out in the hallway, cutting and gluing their structure and putting together a skit.

Omer would be proud of them - they demonstrate the commitment, self-direction , teamwork and spirit that he and the Odyssey of the Mind program represent.
