WATCH OUT FOR DOUBLE DATERS !


The following teams qualified to go on to the next rounds for the free tickets to The Hobbits: The Desolation of Smaug. Congratulations to all who participated. It was fun getting to know you and the varied talents you all have. Putting 104 Lego pieces together under 8 minutes is pretty awesome. !

In the next three phases you will need to come make an appointment and sign up as before so that Miss Mayne can get you set up with the phase you are to do next. If you want the tickets before Christmas Vacation, you need to show up by end of school Monday. That's today folks!

                                2.  7:44-------------Cocaisn Invasion

BIG guys, little Lego pieces

Legos appeal to girls too; they assembled 104 pieces

SMAUG LEGO CONTEST OFF TO A QUICK START!



THE FIRST TEAM TO COMPLETE PHASE 1
First Team Sets A High Standard

If you really want to make an adult feel inferior, challenge them to a timed Lego build contest. These two young men were the first, and so far the fastest, team to complete the first phase of the Smaug Lego build contest sponsored by LPHS's Media Center. The reward (besides humiliating adults) is two free tickets to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug at a local theatre. Due to privacy laws we cannot list their names, but their team name is Cocaish Invation. (Their handwriting is not as good as their Lego skills.)

                        You Need To Sign Up Again!

Because there was such strong interest in this contest (14 TEAMS) we are doing qualifying rounds which should be done by the end of the week. We are trying to winnow it down to three teams, so that the next three phases can be accomplished before Christmas Break. Please come sign up for your timed qualifying round, even if you signed up on the original sheet. This is a different sign up.

SO WHO IS SMAUG ?


Any of you who have read J.R. Tolkien's fantasy series knows who Smaug is - - - the biggest, meanest, darkest, most arrogant representation of evil, EVER! The next book of Tolkien that movie makers have deigned worthy of their millions has been entitled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Wanna win some free tickets to this new movie, listen up ---

 A four phase set of Legos and the race to get them put together will be the drama unfolding in the LPHS Media Center. The contest rules are listed below. Enter with a friend or wanna be friend by the end of school, Friday December 6. The actual contest starts this Monday. By the time you finish putting together all phases of the Lake-town set, you'll either hate each other or want to go to the movie together. Did I mention, there are 470 pieces to debate over? They who win will get a gift card for two to go to the movie. Mixed gender teams are also encouraged, it will build/test your relationship. You can work on your phase before or after school, or during lunch.

Sign up with a friend by Friday, Dec 6 on this clipboard.
