SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Technology High Students heading to Odyssey of the Mind World Finals!
DESCRIPTION:Five remarkable 9th graders from Technology High School just did something extraordinary.  They competed against teams from across Northern California — and won. Now they’re heading to the Odyssey of Mind World Finals in Iowa this May. \nOdyssey of Mind is an international competition where students take on complex\, open-ended problems using creativity\, engineering\, performance\, and pure teamwork. Every idea\, every solution\, every performance comes entirely from the students themselves. \nThese five kids have put in months of hard work to get here. But getting to Iowa takes more than talent — it takes resources. They’re currently fundraising to cover travel\, shipping\, lodging\, and registration fees.\nYou can help send them to the World stage. \nSonoma County\, let’s show these students what community support looks like!

SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Technology High Students heading to Odyssey of the Mind World Finals!
DESCRIPTION:Five remarkable 9th graders from Technology High School just did something extraordinary.  They competed against teams from across Northern California — and won. Now they’re heading to the Odyssey of Mind World Finals in Iowa this May. \nOdyssey of Mind is an international competition where students take on complex\, open-ended problems using creativity\, engineering\, performance\, and pure teamwork. Every idea\, every solution\, every performance comes entirely from the students themselves. \nThese five kids have put in months of hard work to get here. But getting to Iowa takes more than talent — it takes resources. They’re currently fundraising to cover travel\, shipping\, lodging\, and registration fees.\nYou can help send them to the World stage. \nSonoma County\, let’s show these students what community support looks like!
