Full disclosure: Although I'm posting this, most of this was written by the very wonderful Claire who stepped in when life has been a bit more than overwhelming for me. I hope you all can take some time to breathe and self-care, and read on for some fantastic updates!
Break Week
The end of semester one is drawing near! We're officially in catch-up week, so if you were thinking about doing a mad last-minute lesson sprint, there has never been a better time. And if you've already done all the lessons you wanted to do... share your productivity tips with the rest of us!
Professors, thank you as always for your continued hard work as we head towards exam week!
Quidditch - Gryffindor Take the Win!
Gryffindor took the win in the final Hogwarts quidditch match of the semester, bringing their total score so far this year to 150 and entering a three-way tie with Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Hufflepuff managed to score an admirable sixty points before losing to their opposition, but sadly it appears they will not be taking home the quidditch cup this year!
Stay tuned for more semester one quidditch coming your way this week!
Halloween Costume Contest - Results!
Halloween may be over, but we're not quite done celebrating. Here were the winners of the costume contest!
Best Overall: Niamh Eriksen as a Viking
Best Magically Enhanced: Valeria Iglesias as Ariel
Most Scary: Max Goose as Cuddles the Bear

Lots of fun stuff happening! Let us know what you're most excited about!
