  • NEW!   Volunteer Opportunity with Odyssey of the Mind

It’s Odyssey of the Mind season! Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is a creative problem-solving competition that challenges students to think critically, collaborate, and use their imagination. Our area has a strong OM community, but each team must secure a volunteer judge—often difficult for families who don’t know many people locally. Serving as a judge is a rewarding way to support students, and no prior OM experience is required. The time commitment includes tournament day on March 7, along with a brief training (January 31 morning or February 5 and 12 evenings). If this sounds like something you’d enjoy or would like more information about, please contact Ellen H.

  • Donating Flower Arrangements for the Chancel
