Moore Team Places 7th at Odyssey World Finals
A team from Lyman Moore Middle School scored seventh place at the recent Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at the University of Maryland. The Moore team competed against 61 others from 14 countries.
The Moore team won a first place trophy at Maine’s state competition on April 5. The team is made up of students from five schools who have competed together since 2003.
All of the members of the Moore team previously attended Longfellow Elementary School and participated in the Odyssey of the Mind team there. Last year, they went to the World Finals and finished in sixth place. After four years together in elementary school, they now attend several middle schools, but they received permission from Odyssey of the Mind to continue as a team.
The members are: Moore sixth graders Justin Very and Griffin Py, King sixth graders Erin Mahoney and Charlotte Spritz, Lincoln sixth grader Zac Dufour, St.Brigid’s sixth grader Peter Dutton and Longfellow Elementary fifth grader Francesca Butterfield. Two parents coach the team, Michelle Butterfield and David Very.
