ODYSSEY OF THE MIND TEAM TESTING
Friday, October 25th, a creativity exam will be given to choose the students who will form this year’s East Vincent Elementary and middle school’s Odyssey of the Mind teams. Odyssey of the Mind is a worldwide problem solving completion involving students as young as kindergarten up through the high school level. The children from East Vincent Elementary have proven themselves to be very competitive on all levels of competition by winning numerous regional competitions, several state titles, and a world championship since joining Odyssey 28 years ago.
To qualify as a member of our problem solving team, a student must complete an exam which measures his or her ability to think fluently, elaborate on her or her ideas, and create original ideas. In addition, your child will be asked to list any special talents they might have, such as artistic or musical abilities, on the reverse side of the written examination. Finally, your child’s current and former instructors will be interviewed to gather information regarding academic ability and work ethic of the student. The test is open to all interested East Vincent 4th, 5th and 6th grade students.

School season is prime time for classes, homework, sports…and unfortunately, the flu. You may have heard that the flu virus got an early start this year and getting vaccinated is the #1 way to prevent the flu along with the fever, sore throat, body aches, and even serious health complications it can cause. We are partnering with the Chester County Health Department to offer the annual flu shot clinic to community members. Bring your insurance card for the flu vaccine and take a few minutes at the Wellness Fair to explore other ways to boost your immune system.
