Buffett Student Activities and Athletics
It is wonderful to see our Bobcats enjoying the after school athletics and activities. We have a busy week ahead, so check out the opportunities for your Bobcats on the Athletic and Activities calendar linked below.
Think Tank Competition
Think Tank is a competition in creativity, leadership, negotiation, and teamwork. The goal is for your “company” to make the most money by the end of the day.
Each middle school brings students who will work as a team to complete tasks that they choose from the different tables. Each task table has a Secretary which is an OPS staff member. That Secretary will negotiate with the company on the price of each task. The company will try to get top dollar from the Secretary. Then they will take the task back to their table to work on. Each “company” can only have 3 task cards at the table at a time.
Buffett's Company Name: Buffett C.I.A. (creative. innovative. achievers.)
President/CEO: Mr. Washington
Project Managers: Milo, Tyler, & Ja'Shay
Assistants: Ella Mae, Brooklyn, Cicely, & Asher
