"Destination Imagination" Duckies need our support
ARUNDEL — For several months now a group of
students at Mildred L. Day School have been working on a journey. This
journey is called "Destination Imagination." First-grade teacher Cathy
Bansmer has been the teacher/mentor for DI at the school for 12 years.
This year she has been instrumental in navigating two teams through
instant challenges and guiding the team managers through the DI process.
One
of the teams, appropriately called the DI Duckies, consists of seven
girls in third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade. This team has made its way
through the regional challenge, placing third, and the state challenge,
placing second. One of the biggest challenges is now before this team.
"Global Finals" are in Knoxville, Tenn., where more than 1,000 teams
from around the world will attend this exciting event.
