George's Star Wars Party



Jedi Masters Nazarian and Alford welcomed all of our 
Padawans to the Star Wars Academy on 12.11.11. 
The Padawans had to: save rebel soldiers, take down assault walkers, repair R2D2, train with Master Yoda, attempt to rescue Han Solo, defeat the evil Darth Vader! We are proud to announce that our young ones passed all of their tests and are now officially Master Jedi.

Here is the birthday boy himself in action! George was our STAR pupil.




The entrance to the Academy. Here young Padawans made their own tie fighters.
Next we have George's Cantina where the students enjoyed several
Star War's treats, including the famous Millennium Falcon cake!
 












The Padawans also completed a scavenger hunt based on The Empire Strikes Back. They started out on the ice planet of Hoth.



 
Next on our hunt was Dagobah for training from Master Yoda. Our young Padawans had to earn their light sabers, complete a training course, learn saber skills and use the force.
 


 Next we were on to Cloud City to save Han Solo and Princess Leia. Little did we know it was a TRAP!

 
Lo and behold....last we were attacked by none other than the evil Darth Vader!












 George finally defeated the dark side!
 
Happy Birthday George! May the force be with you.

Nylah's Harry Potter Party

Nylah's party was a huge success! We created our own owl pets, were sorted into houses, made "skelegro" during potions class, discovered our futures during divination, competed for the house Quidditch cup and raced to find all 7 horcruxes! After destroying the horcruxes, we rushed to the Great Hall to defeat Voldemort in trivia and enjoy delicious Hedwig cupcakes. Our wizards and witches earned sweets at Honeydukes and a special necklace (donated by the Weasley twins) reading "I solemnly swear I am up to no good!"
Happy birthday Nylah! We love you!
