Missing Kits

As you know, the final day to mail your kit to your spoilee was July 25. I am aware that there are a few kits currently in the process of being delivered by owls. If you have NOT yet received your kit from your spoiler, I would appreciate knowing as soon as possible so I can follow up. If you have mailed your kit but have not provided the delivery confirmation number, please get it to Lavender Ackerly or me immediately so we can cross you off the list. If you haven't yet mailed your kit, it is imperative that you contact me right away and let me know when you expect to mail.

We are really hoping that we won't need to send out angel kits. This has been such a fun term at Hogwarts. Let's not ruin it by not living up to the responsibilities each of us assumed when we enrolled.

Be An Angel

Reminder: If you are considering donating items for possible angel kits, I would like to receive them no later than July 19. Anything not used in an angel kit will be used for Hogwarts Prizes at the end of the swap. Recipients will thank you profusely! Please contact me if you have any questions.

ANGEL KIT/HOUSE PRIZE DONATIONS

In an effort to more easily provide angel kits to anyone who may not receive a kit from his/her spoiler, we are going to try something new. Last term we, unfortunately, ended up needing 6 angel kits. That was definitely 6 more than we should have needed. Hopefully we will not ever have to deal with that situation again.

As you are all aware, a basic kit includes a handmade item (preferably a bag), knitting needles, stitch markers, and a pattern. If you are able and willing to contribute one or more of the above items, please email Wisteria and/or your Prefect for instructions on where to send your contribution. Please feel free to also contribute those little extras people like to receive as well -- don't feel you have to limit yourself to the elements of a basic kit. We would like to receive the contributions as early as possible in the term so we can fill in whatever is missing. Any and all contributions will be used first to provide angel kits. Anything not used in an angel kit will be used as Hogwarts prizes (not House prizes) for Quidditch and all the "best" awards at the end of the term.

Our aim in asking for contributions from everyone at Hogwarts is to avoid putting the additional responsibility, time and expense of providing one or more additional kits at the end of the term on a few individuals. If we can somehow share the expense, it will be a win/win situation for everyone.

If anyone has any questions, please email Wisteria.
