We have arrived...

Instead of Spooky Night in the Library we had our own Evening at Hogwarts. Nearly 100 students qualified to attend by reading one of the Harry Potter books. It was fun and the kids were so excited. We sorted the students into houses with a real sorting hat. They dined on chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and hot cheddar scones. They ate chocolate frogs, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, edible wands, pumpkin pasties and butter beer. We even had a visit from a real owl, thanks to the Nature Center.

It's almost time...

Endless food




The sorting hat



We're in Slytherin



Let us dine


All smiles


We can't wait



The ladies are excited



Looking the part



A perfect Hermoine



Are we singing?



He brought his shopping cart


Let's roll
