LakeForestLeader.com news the lake forest leader | March 23, 2017 | 23 Lake Buff Middle School students earned first, second and third place medals in the Illinois state Odyssey of the Mind, hosted at Lake Bluff Middle School on March 11. Photo Submitted LBMS wins big at Odyssey competition Submitted by Lake Bluff Middle School More than 250 students, parents, teachers, and volunteers from throughout Illinois gathered at the newly-renovated Lake Bluff Middle School for the Illinois state Odyssey of the Mind competition on March 11. Odyssey of the Mind is an international event revolving around creative problem solving and team-building. By the end of the day, the 15 student participants in three Lake Bluff Middle School teams had each earned a medal, with one team being named State Champion and two teams qualified to represent the State of Illinois at the World Finals in May. To prepare, teams of students select an open-ended problem from a provided list. Some of the problems are more technical in nature, while others are artistic or performance-based. The students then work together over weeks or months outside of school to design and present their solution through a creative performance. Though students can work with adult coaches to refine necessary skills, no adult input is allowed in the design process. The students are responsible for all ideas and all construction of props and devices, and there is a limit to how much they can spend on supplies. “All of our students did extremely well at the state competition,” said Joe Jakcsy, LBMS seventh and eighth grade mathematics teacher who coordinated the hosting and team efforts with Sydney Jakcsy. “They represented Lake Bluff so well and demonstrated to teams from across Illinois that our students are creative, persistent, funny, quick-thinking and good natured.” Lake Bluff’s newly renovated school building drew high marks from the students, teachers and parents who attended from around the state. “We are so proud of all our students in Lake Bluff,” said Dr. Jean Sophie, Lake Bluff School District 65 Superintendent of Schools. “Like much of the curriculum and activities in Lake Bluff, Odyssey of the Mind inspires our students to discover new ways to creatively solve problems and to practice working together as a team. This has been an experience where the journey is more important than the final result, and these skills that will serve them throughout their lives.” The students started work on their projects in November. Diane Benner, Rob Miller, Vanessa Watkin, Ray Gundry, and Fred Richards volunteered as parent coaches. Susanna Curato and Corinne Horner served as judges, and Sally Bishop assisted with logistics. The World Finals, the largest creative problem solving competition in the world, will involve thousands of students from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries, and will be held May 24-27 at Michigan State University. Below is a summary of the results for the events in which LBMS students competed: State Champions – Problem 2 – Division 3 Hannah Bienkowski, Payton Marzella, Emilia Miller, Natalie Waite, Megan Wong, Samantha Wong Second place – Problem 5 – Division 2 Lily Cran, Ian Fickes, Tally Fiengold, Ashley Keim, Yunru Wang Third place – Problem 4 – Division 2 Kaito Gundry, Jeremiah Lam, Freddy Richards, Henry Thomas Aidan Cran (left), qualified for the Illinois state national Geography Bee, with Bridget Seymour, who was runner up at the Lake Bluff competition. PHOTO SUBMITTED Lake Bluff Middle School student qualifies for state level National Geography Bee Submitted by Lake Bluff Middle School Lake Bluff Middle School eighth grade student Aidan Cran has qualified for the Illinois state level of the national Geography Bee, one of only 100 students in Illinois to qualify. Cran was selected after he won the LBMS GeoBee in January. “To my knowledge, this is the first time that a Lake Bluff student has qualified to go on to the state competition,” said Nathan Blackmer. LBMS Principal. “We are extremely proud and impressed by Aidan’s geography knowledge, and he is an outstanding representative of our school.” Each year thousands of schools in the United States participate in the National Geographic Bee using materials prepared by the National Geographic Society. This entertaining and challenging contest is designed to encourage teachers to include geography in their classrooms, spark student interest in the subject, and increase public awareness about geography. Schools with students in grades four through eight are eligible for this entertaining and challenging test of geographic knowledge.
