Bedford 4th Graders Heading to Knoxille!

Destination ImagiNation® (DI), is the largest creative problem solving organization in the world, with over 250,000 members from over 40 countries and all 50 states. In 2006, over 2,300 New Hampshire students from 150+ schools and organizations made DI one of the states most chosen after-school activities.


We are proud to say that, of all of the teams in New Hampshire, your Riddle Brook 4th graders are going to the global finals in Tennessee, where they will be competing with top teams from around the world!

Your Bedford team – the Silly Safari Searchers – is a group of nine- and ten-year-old girls who have been working together since last fall (under the watchful eye of Coach Mary Pat Norfleet) developing such important life skills as teamwork, creative problem solving, collaboration, project management, resource management, critical and creative thinking, research and presentation skills and, as all challenges must be strictly team-solved, self-reliance. This is the first Bedford team in several years to reach the global finals.

These students have worked extremely hard to get this far, and we want them to be able to enjoy a fantastic experience at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, May 24-27th.

But we need your help to cover the cost of registration, travel, room and board – $1,000 per student! Please consider making a donation to support the Bedford DI team. Our Riddle Brook DI team, under the auspices of Riddle Brook School, is a non-profit organization, and so any contribution is tax-deductible.
