Odyssey Academy had a group of teachers visit the school in February from the United Kingdom. The group travelled to Texas and the Houston/Galveston area to visit premier Texas public schools and selected Odyssey Academy for their visit to find out more about Texas charters.
They spent the day visitng classrooms, observing teachers, support staff and administrators to compare views on education and to build relationships and networks.
“I just wanted to say how impressed we all were with your wonderful school, especially as you are dealing with such a difficult situation at the moment. Everyone we met could not have been more welcoming and it is clear to see that the children are settled and happy. The positivity displayed in your school is an example to us all of what can be done when you set your mind to it,” said Kathy Keeley, Deputy Headteacher of The Hollies School in Wales.
Odyssey Academy students Adam Thompson and Edward Sienko won first place and second place, respectively, in the Computer Science category of the recently concluded 2009 Galveston County Science and Engineering Fair. Edward Sienko’s entry, Robotest, is a multilevel video game that he designed with colorful and artistic graphics and backgrounds created from Microsoft paint. Adam Thompson’s “The Art of Video Gaming Design” demonstrated a different level of complex programming skills.
Their teacher, Mr. Canon said, “I am very proud of what our students have accomplished. Last year, we also won first and second place in the same category. I hope we will be sending entries in other categories next year.”
Clear Creek ISD’s Gilmore Elementary Student Council donated Library Books and Die Cuts to help Odyssey Academy recover from Hurricane Ike. Special Thanks to Trent Martin from Gilmore’s PTO for coordinating the relief efforts.
