Congratulations to our two Mackenzie Odyssey of the Mind teams that competed in the Region 5 tournament at OU BOCES on Saturday, March 2. Our 4th & 5th grade team did a theater rendition of Ernest Hemingway's classic novel "The Old Man and the Sea" and our 3rd grade team chose to compete using the long-term problem "Rocking World Detour". While neither team placed, all of the participants had a great experience!

Mackenzie winter clubs are coming to an end this week (there will be a few make ups when we return from break). We had 16 clubs offered this winter! One of which was the Taylor Swift Club run by Mrs. Counts & Mrs. Mikiewicz. This club was offered to students in grades 2-4 and its focus was on friendship, kindness, artistry, female empowerment and the group's love for Taylor Swift's music.
