Randolph Places High
In ‘Destination Imagination’

The Randolph Elementary School Destination Imagination ("DI") teams did very well at the Vermont State Tournament March 15 in Burlington.

Three of Randolph’s teams are now eligible to travel to the DI World Finals that will be held in Tennessee later this spring. They either won first place in their division or special statewide recognition for outstanding creativity.

Other teams placed or performed their personal best during the tournament, and Randolph’s non-competitive third grade team spent the season getting an introduction to creative problem-solving.

This program at Randolph Elementary School would not have been possible without the dedication of the adults who coached the teams. We are grateful for their commitment to the creative young people in our community.
