Odyssey of the Mind Interest Form 2023-24
Fill out this form to indicate that you are interested in having your child participate in Abingdon's Odyssey of the Mind Program. Parents volunteer to coach teams and oversee their progress toward the solution of a problem which students will perform at a regional competition on March 9, 2024.  Unlike other afterschool opportunities, student teams have ownership of their performance/solution. Parent coaches simply keep them safe and on track toward completion based on the problem they choose to solve. Team practices can take place in the classroom at the school, at your home, at a community center, or at a place of your choosing. You must fill out a separate form for each of your children if more than one want to participate.  Please understand that no child is guaranteed a spot on a team unless their parent volunteers to coach. Also, students whose parent volunteers to serve as a judge will be given preference as will team members who have participated in Odyssey in past years.
