Extras
Hogwarts Grounds. We have a new Groundskeeper so, go bother him who keeps himself busy trying to keep the grounds looking perfect for us. The grounds are extensive, so make sure to keep an eye out for any volunteers he might be looking to lend a hand or two or four in doing some light chores around them.
The Greenhouses / The Student Graden. Professor Bentley has worked hard over the summer to keep the Student Garden running, and we're sure she'll like to keep both the Garden and the Greenhouses well maintained... Have a knack for Herbology? Then why not offer your assistance in helping to ensure the plants are well nourished and everything kept in place?
Hogwarts Library. Perhaps you are one who enjoys the books and spends way too much time inside reading/studying. Which is okay, and the library holds many books for you to enjoy, just...keep in mind that that is the only purpose of the library.Balloon Spotting Party: Feb 7th - 12th, approx.
Magic Free Fun Zone: (Mugge Board Games).Feel like having some muggle entertainment? Head over to the Muggle Studies classroom and go play some muggle games. There's plenty to choose from and its a great way to have fun with your friends.
Gobstones Slytherin won the first prelim match; Hufflepuff won the second. They'll be competing against each other for the Gobstones Championship!
Magical Creatures Sanctuary: The list of students allowed into the Sanctuary is now finalized and can be found here; if you signed up and wish to earn some extra credit or learn about how to take care of the fantastic beasts of the world in an independent arena, swing on by there, find your name on the list, and start interacting with the wonderful animals!
Magical Creatures Barnyard Since the cold season is seeping in, most of the creatures in the Sanctuary will be moved to the Barnyard. If you signed up to help learn about taking care of the magical creatures, then you will be allowed to continue taking care of the creatures in the Barnyard as well. Note: ONLY if your name is on the list in the Sanctuary, should you be helping out in the Barnyard and/or Sanctuary.
Balloon Spotting Party Head over to the grounds for some fun balloon spotting.
Find anyplace else that you think would be good to add to this 'extra' list for Badgers to know? Please send a PM to one (or both) of your House Prefects.

Game Results
Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor 
220-10 House Points Hufflepuff: 2803 Ravenclaw: 2707 Slytherin: 2267 Gryffindor: 2019 Editors Note
First of all, I'd just like to say well done to our Quidditch team and to our Gobstones team, for both wining their first matches of the year. They have both been practicing very hard, and as we can all see their good efforts have paid off.
The scoreboard is looking rather good. We are still in first place, but the Ravenclaws are not far behind, which is why we should continue working hard, so we can earn that House Cup Trophy.
Keep up the good work! I love you all my Badgerinos.
