Go Transporting Llamas!

Congrats to the Destination Imagination Transporting Llamas for winning first place in North Carolina on March 16, and to their fabulous manager Brandy.  They're now on their way to the global competition in Kansas City in May, in which kids from 19 countries will compete.  

Here's what Brandy said about the event: "Mya and her team have worked SO incredibly hard since the fall! I am the team manager and it has been a ton of work to get the kids where they are today! They won their challenge for the elementary level at the state tournament and now are headed to Kansas City for the global tournament in May. It's going to cost a pretty penny to get there so any help is so greatly appreciated!! Don't know what destination imagination is? The kids had to put on a play without the help of any adults, making the costumes, backdrops, props, sound effects and they had to incorporate a flying aircraft that is able to take off from one spot, drop payloads into another spot 5 different times and then land in a landing zone. These kids are 4th and 5th graders so the fact that they were able to do this blows my mind!! They also had to do an "instant challenge" where they had to work together as a team to complete a challenge that was unknown to them until walking into the instant challenge room and get scored on how they did. They are amazing and I am so proud of them and am so excited for them to get to experience competing with teams from all over the world."
