You are not limited to using these supplies – you may add anything you wish including photos, stickers, etc. We would also like you to have words on your door that describe your class.

 * Movie Theme Day (Middle School):** Each middle school homeroom will pick a movie (G or PG) and dress up as the characters in it. Example- If your grade chooses **//Finding Nemo//**, each member will dress up as something fishy. The Middle School students will go to the MPR from 1:00 to 1:30. Each homeroom will get up one at a time and try to get the other homerooms to guess correctly what movie they are characterizing. They can do this by putting on a short skit, playing 20 questions with the audience, or sing a song from the movie. When a homeroom thinks they know what the movie is, they are to hold up their class flag which will be waiting for them in the MPR.
