·As you may know, I sponsor Odyssey of the Mind here at MCS. We are hosting our state tournament for Odyssey on April 6th at Central Junior High in Belleville. MCS is sending 5 teams to state this year. Advancement at state allows the teams to compete at World Finals in May at Iowa State University. There are 5 types of problems: vehicle, technical, classics, structure, and drama. All are usually very funny!

·Odyssey of the Mind volunteers needed… As with most things, our volunteer base has shrunk since COVID. We are in desperate need for judges for our state tournament on April 6th. Please see email that was sent for more information. If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering (we just ask that our judges be 16 or older), we would love your help. If you are interested in more information, please email me and let me know. Here is the direct link to sign up: https://www.illinoisodyssey.org/volunteerform Let me know if you do direct sign up so I can let the judging coordinators know! ---Thank you! Becky Rasmussen
