Ok folks, now that season 5, and the series, is officially over, it's time for awards season. Once again, this is our opportunity to award the "best" in world history at the end of a season. This is also a great opportunity to reflect critically on content learned. The categories for voting will be listed below, and all you have to do is nominate your selection in a comment post. Voting closes at 11:59pm ON SUNDAY. We'll tally the votes, and the winner will be announced Tuesday, May 5. If any of you are in need of volunteer hours and would like to come in after school or during 6th lunch on Monday to tally votes, I'll be happy to have you. That would be a great help. Happy voting. Don't forget: next will be the All-Season Whapey Awards! Here are the categories for season 5...[NOTE: DO NOT COPY AND PASTE OTHER VOTERS' BALLOTS. YOU MAY ONLY COPY AND PASTE THIS ONE TO FILL IN.
