Happy Summer

By Prof. Anya Chutney

Greetings!

We've had a fantastic year at HOL...and, I'm hoping that next year will be even better!

BADGERS!!! Tell me how many QUILLS you earned! Click here! You could earn Citrines!

Each term, I'm allowed to give out our Head of House Awards. I always look forward to this time, because I truly adore recognizing the hard workers in our House!

Here are this year's recipients:

Badger-of-all-Trades Award

Awarded to Tarma Black!

This award is give out to the staff member or student who demonstrates willingness and ability in more than one area of HOL.

Tarma is usually everywhere at once &mdash helping out students, staff, and pretty much anyone who needs it. She has been involved in most everything you can imagine during her years at HOL. We're very proud to have Tarma as a Badger!

HoH Award of Friendship

Awarded to Kath Snape!

This award is given to that Badger who has shown us what Friendship means.

Kath is one of the friendliest Badgers you will ever meet. She always has time to give a kind word, a hug, or a smile to cheer up everyone's day. Kath is a hard worker and keeps an eye on all of us. I don't know what we'd do without our Kath!

HoH Award of Merit

Awarded to Zoki Phantom!

This award is given to the Badger who deserves recognition!Zoki is everywhere. Zoki contributes SO very much to our house, every single day. Have you seen the WT articles? The artwork, the poems, the reviews? Zoki is made of awesome.

HoH Award of Appreciation

Awarded to Katelin Ross and Maquelly John!

These Badgers most certainly deserve my appreciation &mdash and the appreciation of the rest of the House. From earning points, to contributing to games and the WT, these two are always busy. I've noticed both of you and I wanted you to know that. And, I wanted to make sure you know I appreciate everything you do!

The Alektai Khalikiope Memorial Award

Awarded to Rorey Padfoot!

This award is given to that Badger who has given so unfailingly and whole-heartedly to Hufflepuff that we cannot imagine what the Sett would be without them.

Many of you never got to know Prof. Khalikiope. I was lucky enough to know her for a short while before she was taken from us. She was kind, amazing, good-hearted, and she loved this House and everyone in it.

Rorey holds those same qualities. Most of you have no clue how hard Rorey works. She never stops and she helps to keep *me* sane, which should be an award, in and of itself. We love you Rorey!

I hope everyone has a brilliant and lovely summer. We'll be back in the Fall with more fun, friendship, and laughter.
