Odyssey of the Mind State Champs




The Guignard's travelled to ECU on Friday, April 4 for the North Carolina Odyssey of the Mind Competition. We were so glad that Cousin Betsy was able to join us. Tucker's dinosaur team competed on Saturday. Greenville received over 3 inches of rain on Saturday, so you can imagine our day! The dad's did a great job loading and unloading the props in the rain. Tucker's team were first place in the Dinostories division! We could not believe it. They will represent North Carolina in Baltimore, Maryland in Odyssey of the Minds World competition the first weekend in June. At the very end of the awards ceremony, the OM judges recognize one team out of over 100 NC teams as the most creative and innovative - the team that truly exemplifies the Odyssey of the Mind concept. This team receives a very prestigious award and an invitation to the world finals (because they may or may not have placed). Tucker's Unionville team received the award! This is truly an awesome recognition. OM has been an unbelievable experience for Tucker.
