🧠✨ Odyssey of the Mind is coming to BMS!

With support from the BMS PTO and Guilford Public Schools, we’re excited to bring Odyssey of the Mind (OM) to BMS this year!

OM is a creative problem-solving competition where teams of 5–7 students work together to solve a challenge and bring their ideas to life. Along the way, students build skills in creative thinking, teamwork, technical reasoning, collaboration, and leadership.

Interested in participating? Please fill out the interest form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf7jRRWwL_maC-YJiOWV1EEiNyx2ezgCWSyb6utBCsAA7piug/viewform?pli=1

Want to learn more? Join one of our virtual parent information sessions:
📅 Wednesday, September 30 | 7–8 PM
📅 Thursday, October 1 | 7–8 PM

Adult coaches are needed, too and no experience is necessary! Teams typically meet once or twice a week through March.

💵 Cost: $45 per student
❤️ Scholarships are available.

Whether your student loves building, performing, designing, creating, or simply thinking outside the box, Odyssey of the Mind has a place for them!
