Odyssey of the Mind
Odyssey of the Mind is a national creative problem-solving competition. The program is run by parent volunteers and school staff, and team registration fees are paid for by DESEF.

This year, Walt Disney’s had five teams comprised of 35 students that have spent the school year working together on solving a long term problem. These teams presented their solution during the regional competition held March 2 at Concord High School. All the teams were amazing!

Congratulations to Ryan Raleigh, Peyton Silverwood, Luke Schulman, Olivia Shilling, Lucas Melo, Aubrey Fash and Kridya Rawal – they took first place in their division and are moving on to the NorCal State Championship on March 30!

Science Fair Needs Volunteers
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We are searching for parent volunteers for our Science Fair committee to plan, judge, and provide other assistance, such as creating fliers, coordinating set-up, and more.
