Clubs
If your student is interested in starting a club this year, please reach out to Ms. Donna and Ms. Amanda Nemeth. We are currently looking for a sponsor for Odyssey of the Minds. This club promotes creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and more. It is a creative problem-solving competition that gives kids the confidence to think for themselves and to create solutions to any challenge. Performance, art & cultural studies are also incorporated, creating a well-rounded program. Odyssey of the Mind benefits all types of students as they learn to think beyond the box. If you are interested, please reach out to Suzette Ventura at venturas@odysseycharterschool.com.
