Spring 2015 Progress: Pie and other Noms!

It's hard to believe that the end of the term is nearly here!  With only about three weeks left in the Spring term, we're all looking forward to a little Break Month Levity.  But there are still plenty of points-earning possibilities, so let's push on!  Remember, Quiddy Match 4 starts on Thursday, July 16 and ends on the 25th, and Order Missions are due July 19th at midnight POT!

Ravenclaws have been busily crafting their way to the ISS all term, and as of today, we are Admiring the Aurora Borealis!  (Don't forget to put your yardage into the tracking spreadsheet!)  High-yardage Advanced Studies projects are certainly helping us to our goal.  As of early July, we're in second place in Advanced Studies, behind Hufflepuff.

Second place isn't our usual for Advanced Studies, but we're within striking distance if we can get our Phoenixes, OWLs and NEWTs to land!  NEWTs are definitely looking promising!  Have you seen boki's fantastic trellises, which are only a part of her NEWT?  Or been following the Dragons of Happiness that Auora and CathyCake are making?  Let's cheer on our intrepid NEWT students as they craft on to the finish line!  They inspire all of us to achieve Advanced Studies glory!

As with Advanced Studies, we find ourselves in second place in classes, but this time behind Gryffindor.  And Hufflepuff is nipping at our heels, only 130 points behind by this Spreadsheet Sorceresses calculations!  Claws have been churning out those classes for the fantastic Flight of the First badges and the distinguished Detention badges.  Remember, if you want an Amelia Earhart detention badge, you have until July 24!

Claws have gotten organized with lists, had some treats, and done some window shopping out on the Quidditch Pitch this term.  We have one match to go, starting July 16!  We're behind, so let's finish strong and spiff up those brooms!  Find something to frog and repurpose for 20 base points, plus potential bonus!

In total, Hufflepuff has a convincing lead so far, and we're in a fierce battle for second, just behind Gryffindor. 

 We're hurtling to the end of term.  Or is it the ISS?  Or even Pluto with New Horizons??  With so many points-earning opportunities before the end of term, it's anyone's game! (Speaking of which, did I mention the HMC goes until July 28th? No?  Well, you can turn in TWO projects for the Hogwarts gardens!)  Let's finish the term strong and SOAR RAVENCLAW!
