Copy sweep: pull the seasonal surface into named values

The hero button said 'Join us this fall' while the nav button two inches above it said 'Join us'. That is the whole problem in one screenshot: strings that go stale on a schedule, scattered. Seven values at the top of app.py now hold the program year, the meeting day, and the two meeting times. Twelve inline meeting-time strings and four program-year labels read from them, so a time change is one edit rather than a grep. The block carries a note that this is not a CMS: anything with a date in it belongs in the calendar feed, and evergreen copy stays inline where git log can answer what the site said during recruitment. Two strings were not stale, they were false out of season: 'There is nothing to do between now and Tuesday' on the thanks page and 'See you Tuesday' on the join CTA both confidently invited families to a meeting that did not exist through July. Now 'we will be in touch with the next meeting date' and 'See you on a Tuesday'. The properly correct fix reads the next meeting from the calendar feed and this is not that, but it stops the site making a promise it cannot keep in August. The chocolate booth does not run all winter. Three places now say in season. 'fall grade' becomes 'current grade' on the join label and in SHEET_HEADERS. The header is only written to an empty sheet, so the live sheet would have kept saying 'fall grade' forever; sheet_append now repairs cell E1 in place on the next lead, the same way it already backfills the Comments header. thanks_body became an f-string. It had no bare braces, so the conversion is safe.
