Congratulations to Goshen’s Odyssey of the Mind teams!

Over the weekend, our Odyssey of the Mind programs showcased the hard work they’ve been preparing for weeks leading up to the Regional Tournament at Orange-Ulster BOCES. 

In the days before the Regional Tournament, Goshen Intermediate School’s team coached by Meghan Boroden and Corbett Hoffman prepared for their long-term problem in GIS’ auditorium. This team received a lottery slot over the weekend, sending them to Syracuse for the New York State Finals Tournament on April 5th.

Three Goshen students stand together and rehearse their Odyssey of the Mind long term problem in a dress rehearsal. A student has a sparkling red hat and pink feathers on, next to them is a student dressed as a pink bird. A student with a green bucket on their head is on the right.

Two students kneel on the floor and pretend to have a meal on the floor of the auditorium. Near them, there are three students standing and reciting their lines for their long term Odyssey of the Mind problem.
Six students stand and cheer at the end of their long term problem as they all wave their hands in the air. Students are wearing clothes with plastic forks, hawaiian lei, a wedding dress, and a pink feathery decoration across their shirt.

Weeks before the Regional Tournament, C.J. Hooker students worked on their props coached by Goshen’s High School’s Isabella Almodovar. 

A student holds a ball of tin foil while another student wraps tin foil around the outside, making the ball bigger.
A student stands at a table and picks pedals off a fake flower.
A student sits at a table and paints on cardboard cut to look like a laptop.
Two students glue caorboard onto a large piece of a box on the floor. One student is using a glue gun and the other is holding the smaller piece onto the big one.
