Each class has chosen a holiday to decorate for and will be given a basic pack of supplies that includes construction paper, markers, glue, and tape.  In addition to this basic pack, all classes are allowed to use the rolls of colored paper in the production room.  Ask Mrs. England for permission and assistance if needed.  Any additional decorations, props, supplies, craft materials, etc that students would like to use are permitted as long as they do not pose a risk to others.  When in doubt, check with the administration and custodial staff.  Teachers will vote for the best hall based on creativity, appearance, class participation, and incorporation of North Star, Gators and school pride.

Be creative, show your school spirit, have fun and good luck!
