We've finished the first month of the new Term and settling into doing homework again.
Each month we post the current House Point standings. You can check out the current standings here on the HOL Main Page. Remember that this changes on a regular basis, as points are submitted and approved., Here is what the Giant Hour Glass shows at this moment:
Graphic shows words "House Points" and direct underneath, from G to S are circles with the number of House points underneath the circle. Red circle with white 'G' - 45,926. Dark Gold circle with white 'H' - 40,189. Blue circle with white 'R' - 50,195. Dark Green circle with white 'S' - 46,221.
If you are just now finding us, HOLLERS is a fun club open to all the houses with something for everyone!! "HOOTS" are earned by completing activities. If you have earned the most HOOTS in a given month, you get the "HOOT award" added to your personal folder! People who are regularly active in HOLLERS are eligible to earn the "HOLLERS Award". Could that end up being you?

Each month we provide you with 3 puzzles in the Monthly Challenges. Look for prompts in our Creative Outlet sections of the HOLLERS Forum (be sure to check out the Writing Under Constraint subforum in there.

House News
Even though people usually belong to one of the four Houses, and do their own House activities, everyone is welcome to visit the other Houses of HOL Hogwarts.
Gryffindor will have a new roleplay (Sky says they are not quite sure of the theme yet, might just set Cornish pixies on everyone). The Paw Print deadline for the 'quaint and/or retro' issue is March 28th.
Ravenclaw is busy in March. Professor Aloyarc says "March is Ravenclaw Pride Month in The Roost. Our feathered friends will be celebrating over “Whispers on the Wind”, an in-house activity guiding Ravenclaws to divine a special assignment from Professor Trelawney (à la the Game of Clue) while completing tasks themed around their Alumni, favorite Haunts, and house Qualities. Members will also be asked to submit nominations for an annual batch of The Eagles Awards!" {This is Ravenclaw only.)
Slytherin continues with their regular activities with Gobstones, the Puzzle Exchange, the Arcade Club, the Read-A-Long and other fun stuff to do presented on a regular basis. The SerpenTimes deadline is March 15. The Promising Students have a Spring Staycation activity planned that will begin March 15th. It's for all of HOL.
Hufflepuff has Wonders of the World, featuring Movies in March! Our Games Tent -- aka DoHGaS (Huffle Department of Games and Sports) has regular challenges to melt your brains ... Remember that the deadline for submissions to the Wizarding Times is March 8th.
