Odyssey of the Mind
We are so excited to support bringing Odyssey of the Mind to Hillside this year! All grades (K-5th) are welcome to participate. Odyssey of the Mind teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. OM brings the classroom to life as students apply what they learn and combine it with their interests and passions to solve our unique open-ended problems. OM also emphasizes teamwork, budgeting, time management, public speaking, and so much more. If you missed the Parent Info Night, no problem. Check out our presentation here!
