To be chosen as prefect of the week I must see a student going above and beyond, showing kindness to someone, showing responsibility, or simply being a consistently good student for read aloud. I witnessed all of that in these students. They have each earned 3 points for their class/house.
Congratulations to the students in Mrs. Leightons Ravenclaw class. You have earned 3 points for your class/house.

the first 3 Golden Snitches have been found in the library.
