Homecoming 2014 Advisory Flag/Poster Competition

The LHS Leadership class is challenging all Advisories to give us their best blue jay! Each Advisory will be given a blank piece of butcher paper (to be picked up in the mail room by advisors). Show us your best blue jay! 

The idea is to create the new blue jay or look into the history of the Liberty blue jay and use an "old school" blue jay.  You can use any material you have available to you in your department.  We are only supplying the paper and will be cut to size and in the mailroom on Tuesday, Sept. 2nd. 

Flag/Poster Guidelines

• Each poster must include the name of the Advisory and the graduation year 
• (Example: Badalucco 2015 would correspond with Mrs. B’s Senior Advisory etc.)
• Creativity encouraged! Feel free to cut/alter the shape of the canvas you’re given, but  the artwork must stay within the paper boundaries. 
• The blue jays need to be hung with the appropriate tape outside of the gym.  They will be judged in the afternoon on Wednesday, September 10th.
