3/16/2025 2:29 pm

 

 

 

A huge round of applause for our six incredible Clermont Odyssey of the Mind teams! We are bursting with pride at their fantastic achievements.

  • First Place: Cooking with Books - Division II (Coaches Jennifer & Amanda)
  • Second Place: Mech-Animal Sidekick - Division I (Coach Curtis) and AstronOMical Odyssey! - Division II (Coach Tiffany)
  • Third Place: Cooking with Books - Division I (Coaches Jennifer & Rosario)

And a special High Five to the C-Bugs team, who have been working together since 1st grade, for advancing to the State Championship on Saturday, April 26th! We're cheering you on!

The Clermont primary teams were also outstanding! They received glowing feedback from head judges, who consistently praised Clermont students for their exceptional creativity and humor.

It's truly remarkable that all four of our Division I and II teams placed in the top three. WOW!

Odyssey of the Mind is more than just a competition; it's an opportunity for students to:

  • Foster creativity and problem-solving skills.
  • Develop teamwork and critical thinking.
  • Learn valuable life skills like time management and public speaking.
  • Build innovation and resilience.
  • Most importantly, have a TON of fun!

We are incredibly proud of all our students and coaches for their hard work and dedication. Congratulations!
