Please wish the kiddos listed below good luck for Saturday at the Delaware State Odyssey of the Mind Finals. Unfortunately, the tournament is still working under Covid restrictions and is closed to the public with a recorded awards to be shown Sunday night. Even though you can't cheer them on in person at Milford High School, LFOM will be holding a Watch "Party" Sunday night from 5-7 pm in the auditorium of LFHS. Feel free to join us as we'll be watching recorded performances from our 7 teams and then watching the awards stream together!!!

An over-the-top shout out and huge thank you to our coaches who have volunteered their time for MONTHS to facilitate these teams.

Finally, each team can't compete without a volunteer being trained and serving as a judge at the competition. Thanks to district staff, Heather Beauchamp, Earle Dempsey, Alexandra Hobbs, Barb Jumper(retiree), and Jessica Zoll and community members, William Bradford and Heather DeRiggi. Working tournament day are also high schooler Kylie Chagaris, Lake alumnus, Sophia Emery and Lake long-term sub, Caleb Tribbitt.
I look forward to following up next week with (hopefully) good news about teams that placed at the tournament and are invited to compete at World Finals in Iowa in May!!! Let's Go Lake!
