The Our Mother of Perpetual Help (OMPH) Catholic School's elementary and middle school Destination Imagination teams, under the leadership of teacher and team coordinator Natasha Drum, both earned first place in the Pennsylvania State Destination Imagination competition and the opportunity to participate in the Destination Imagination Global Finals in Kansas City, Mo.
Both teams competed in the Game On Challenge. This challenge consisted of the team choosing a game, researching the origins of the game and incorporating the research into its story. The team had to show its presentation from two or more points of view. To do so, the teams created a game gizmo using technical elements that would cause something to happen during the game. The teams also designed a container that would hold all of their props; the container needed to transform in some way during their presentation.
The middle school team, managed by Ann DiNovis, included Olivia Janke, Rachel Hinojosa, Gabrielle Dube, and Julie Leonard. This team chose to bring The Game of Life alive.
The elementary team, managed by Mr. and Mrs. Lance Barrett and Sylvia Allwardt, included Jacques Bowers, Samantha Leonard, Celia Ives, Adrian Ruzic, Molly Barrett, and Luke Bowers. This team brought the game of Clue to life and incorporated its own food character twist.
OMPH School, located in Ephrata, welcomes children from local Catholic churches, as well as interested members of the general community. For more information, readers may call 717-738-2414 or visit http://www.omph.org.
