[QUOTE=Mahaloth]

What might be some cool themes we could use for next year? I’m looking for something 6th/7th grade kids could get into and would be fun.

Any ideas for house name?

I think some people may have missed this part of the thread…

If you want _them_ to be into it–why not ask their advice first? I think the Tolkien theme might work well, but I bet they would love to be involved in the process.

The only two ideas I can come up with at this point would be band names or cartoon characters.

My middle school was supposedly sponsored by NASA, so we had “teams” named after the shuttles.
