Three Monroe-Woodbury teams competed at the 43rd annual New York State Odyssey of the Mind Tournament in Syracuse, NY last weekend. Both Middle School Teams, McInerney/Calabrese Team 1 and Team 2, and High School Team Mortensen competed against teams from all over the state. Their comradery and love for problem solving was infectious. The OM problem #1 MS team and HS team each placed fourth in their division. The MS team competing in OM problem #2 placed second and are now technically eligible to compete at the 43rd annual World Finals competition in Ames, Iowa this May. They will need to fundraise if they opt to attend. We are so proud of the hard work and dedication of our Creative Crusaders! All 3 teams represented themselves, our schools and our community as they impressed the judges with their teamwork, creativity and perseverance. Thank you coaches McInerney, Calabrese and Mortensen for all your efforts to lead, encourage and inspire our Creative Crusaders!
