Odyssey of the Mind would like to thank JB Crumbs for sponsoring their latest fundraiser, a pickup chicken dinner. OM team members has held yard sales at the school and trivia night events at Grassroots in an effort to raise funds for their upcoming trip to Michigan for World Finals.  Team members also have enjoyed the use of the facilities at Factor Fitness to test their award-winning structure. The support and generosity of the Thomasville community reflects in the successes of these students

Thomasville City Schools advanced six teams from the elementary, middle, and high school levels to the Odyssey of the Mind State Finals in Columbus, Georgia on April 13 and brought home a first place win, the Ranatra Fusca Award for “extreme creativity,” and the status of world finalists for one of the high school teams. Their long-term problem solution of holding 775 pounds with a 15-gram balsa-wood, student-built structure will advance them to compete at the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals in East Lansing, Michigan on May 22-25, 2019.
