Odyssey of the Mind is a special enrichment program open to all grades at Lake Anne Elementary School. Students get together one time per week to work in groups of 5-7 to solve problems. These solutions can consist of building contraptions, painting props, writing scripts, making decisions, taking risks and fun with creativity. No adult assistance is permitted in this process; however, adult coaches are needed to keep teams on track (volunteer please!!). Teams can then compete in March 2007 against other schools. Flyers about the program went home in your kid’s backpacks. If you interested please send an email toJessie Clark at Jessie@carefreeboats.com Deadline for Student Interest Forms is Monday October 2nd.

Reflections, the annual creative expression program sponsored by the PTA, will be accepting submissions from now until October 27. Contact Cathy Cutrell (cathy.cutrell@usa.net) at 703.318.0506 for more information or an application.
