HEAD OF SCHOOL 

 
 

OOTMTCS will be represented by three teams at the February 25th Odyssey of the Minds Regional Tournament. Odyssey of the Mind is a creative problem solving program for students from Kindergarten through college which provides teams with the opportunity to learn creative problem solving techniques, teamwork, brainstorming, self-reliance and respect for individual strengths. Our three teams will be competing with over 100 teams at Seminole High School this Saturday and would love to have the support of fellow Lions who can come out to cheer for them. The participating TCS students and times are:

 

The A Team: Jason Baron, Ethan Garris, Nelson Garris, Max Meisenheimer, Nicholas Millard, Rock Swann and Brandon Vick will be on stage at 10:00 am.   

The Odyssey Owls: Ellie Bostedo, Ashley George, Elizabeth Kefauver, Mallory Smith, Meghan Smith and Maddie Sue Swann will be on stage at 2:10 pm.


The BAMTECK Brainiacs: Elizabeth Bobbitt, Maggie Cramer, Kelly George, Anabel Zimmerman and Bailey Vick will be on stage at 2:40 pm.

 

If you have any questions please contact Special Gifts teacher Kim Smith.

 

P.E.Heart Healthy Month in Lower School P.E.

 

Kindergarten - 5th grade students have been learning about good choices to keep their bodies healthy.  One fun way to help remember good choices - play Cholesterol Tag.  If a student is tagged by fried chicken or french fries that clog up the arteries, they can not move.  The cardiologist arrives in the red hula hoop ambulance with the prescription ... three jumping jacks while saying, "I love P.E., I love P.E., I love P.E.!"
