Monday Showcase! (Oops, I think it's already Tuesday...)

The month of May is nearing a close, and Ravenclaws have been working hard on all their class work over the past two weeks.  Some 'Claws seem to be still ensconced in last term's science theme; I found a lot of experimentation going on around the House Cup since our last showcase!  But before we get to the science, let's first celebrate the awesome projects turned in over the past two weeks...

The Golden Pickle Award goes to all the standout projects turned in by Ravenclaws around the House Cup!
