For the frank kurt courses selection, do the people who already registered for a different school still need it to be signed?
And will you still accept any Hatchet comments until now?

Yes. Bring back the form with a note at the top saying what school you've been accepted at. And go ahead and answer any blog questions you wish.

I'm not sure. Type it on a computer then it will work either way

Just drafts. But I recommend typing it anyways so when the teacher that is not Hagrid corrects stuff you'd have a saved draft so you can edit it without rewriting it on the computer.

I have taken suggestions from each of the three grade 7 classes. Division one prefers a California theme with a focus on Disneyland. They also like a Miami theme. Division two prefers a beach theme. Division three prefers a Hawaii theme. Tomorrow I am going to present four options to select from based on the preliminary voting in each of the classes. Please consider which one you like best:
1. A Hawaii theme (note: two years ago we used the theme "A Hawaiian dance party." However, Hawaii offers lots of good decoration and music possibilities. We could use it again)
2. A California theme with half the gym decorated as the Santa Monica beach and half decorated as Disneyland (note: last year our theme was half "Hollywood" and half "A California beach party." So this would be similar. However, the Disneyland half offers a lot of new decoration and music possibilities)
3. A Florida theme with half the gym decorated as Miami beach and half the gym decorated as Disney-world (note: This has not been done before, at least not since I have come to Chimney Hill. Miami beach brings to mind lots of good ideas for music and decorations. So does Disney-world)
4. A beach party theme (no Disney, just all beach related songs and decorations. There are so many creative ideas that fit into a beach theme).
