Free Weights needed for Odyssey of the Mind student team!
Our Wood Wonders (balsa) team needs MORE free weights to test the structures they are building. We are looking to BORROW or for DONATIONS of free weights that are disc-style and that have a center opening that can easily clear a pipe that has a 2-inch diameter. (Photo included for examples of the kind of weights needed.) We would love to have these weights soon, as our team is needing to test structures each weekend between now and the Regional Tournament on March 3rd!
If you can help, PLEASE contact Jessica Vollmer at j.vollmer8@gmail.com or Amanda Rhodes at amanda.rhodes4@gmail.com.
Mrs. Martin wants to invite each of you to the Poe Center for Health Education for their Terrific Teeth program on February 3. Check out the link for more information and details! https://www.poehealth.org/events/teeth-day/
