Not Your Average 5th Grader

Jules Samantha is not your average 11yr. old, by a long shot. She is a straight A student. She also takes part in what is called, “Odyssey of the Mind”, which is a program in which 2nd through 12th grade students put on a theatrical performance that solves a problem that is given to each team.

NASA sponsors Odyssey of the Mind, or OM, and schools around the world can participate in it.  Jules’s 5th grade OM team has been to the state championship every year they participated, 4 years so far, and hopes to make it to worlds this year.
