For the first time in CIA school history, two student teams will compete in this year's regional Destination Imagination (DI) competition. Two teams of Upper Elementary students will work to solve mind-bending challenges and present their solutions at the tournament. Students on the "Golden Eagles" team: Joel Brickman, Josh Haynes, Amelia Lee, Matthew Worton, and Reed Yarbrough. Students on the "Flying Movers" team: Andrew Guffee, Isabel Hall, Ben Liske, Kirsten Hrynewich, Kendall Richards, and Omer Sirak.

Both teams have chosen "Unidentified Moving Object" as their primary challenge. They already have had the opportunity to work on their creativity while practicing "Instant Challenges" - timed tasks often involving performing or storytelling. The regional tournament will be held at Brentwood Middle School on March 12. Faculty/staff managers for the teams are Betty Ann Ralston, Karen Buckner and Katy Southard, and volunteer "appraisers" are Celeste Holt, Margaret Sellers, Emily Hollett, and Jacyln Kienzle. DI reaches 100,000 students across the U.S. and is in more than 30 countries each year.
