Odyssey Update

 In Odyssey of the Mind

Greetings Odyssey of the Mind!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break!   I certainly did!   Well rested and ready for December!  : -)

Club Day…

Yes!  We will have club day this week after school on Wednesday.  I advise teams to communicate with their team members to make sure the team plans to use this time to build.  This time is not required, but more of a bonus hour to allow teams more time to build.  It is difficult for students to work when only a couple members attend the club time.

A few reminders:

-San Tan Charter School is a  nut free school.

• Any foods containing  nuts, or any other form of  peanuts or tree nuts, are not allowed on school grounds. This includes, but is not limited to, peanut or tree nut sandwiches, granola bars containing nuts, trail mixes containing nuts or nut powders, other snacks. Due to the growing number of students who are affected by nut allergies and other allergies,  sharing food is not allowed at school.

• The  following nuts are NOT allowed on campus:  Peanuts, Almonds, Cashews, Beechnuts, Brazil Nuts, Chestnuts, Hazelnuts (NO Nutella), Macadamia Nuts, Pecans, Pistachios, Shea Nuts, Walnuts.

• Some alternatives to nuts and protein are (available at most stores):

o Soy Nut Butter,  Sun Flower Butter,  Pea Butter Spread, Chickpea Butter,, Tahini, Pumpkin Seed Spread, Avocado Spread,  Hummus, Lunch Meats, Cheese, Cream Cheese, Egg
