Quidditch, anyone?<br />
It is certainly rare that a student can<br />
read a book, and then fully immerse<br />
themselves into that very fantastical<br />
story-world.<br />
‘Haghum School of Magical Beings’<br />
offers youth aged 11-17 just such an<br />
experience. Students engage in Harry<br />
Potter themed activities based on JK<br />
Rowling’s award-winning, world-renown<br />
book series. While competing<br />
for the prestigious 2022 HOUSE CUP<br />
award, students rely on multi-aged<br />
team-building to achieve success.<br />
This year, based primarily on Book<br />
II, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, event organizers<br />
present activities very close to ‘the real thing’, including wandwork,<br />
quests, House Elves, and Quidditch!<br />
All fully-registered students receive precise event info via<br />
Owl-POST in early June. Magical-school themed group activities<br />
occupy the afternoon. Students celebrate together with an<br />
evening vegetarian banquet in the Great Hall.<br />
This is a popular annual dress-up event used as a fundraiser<br />
for the Taghum Hall kitchen renovation project. Pre-registration<br />
required before <strong>May</strong> 15. Event is scheduled for June 18,<br />
1 <strong>–</strong> 7pm. For more details and registration form, visit “Special<br />

Marianne Iris Scoular-Amatto<br />
It is with great sadness and loss that we must say goodbye<br />
to Marianne Iris<br />
Scoular-Amatto who<br />
passed away battling<br />
pancreatic cancer<br />
on the 25th of April.<br />
She has moved on to<br />
greener horizons at<br />
the age of 64.<br />
Marianne is survived<br />
by her loving<br />
daughter Jaime<br />
(Greg) Bratland and<br />
her grandchildren<br />
Jack and Georgia, her<br />
sister Linda Scoular<br />
(Peter) and niece Erin<br />
(Greg) and a fondly<br />
remembered brother-in-law, Dan Frayne. Her husband Tom<br />
Amatto predeceased her in 2020.<br />
She will be sorely missed by her extended family at Greene<br />
Horizons, especially her “adopted” Mexican family and<br />
many more. Marianne made friends wherever she went<br />
with her wicked sense of humour and sharp tongue; many<br />
remained good and loyal friends for life.<br />
Cremation has taken place in Cambridge, Ontario.<br />
