2022 HOL Summer Beanstalk

WELCOME to the 2022 HOL Summer Beanstalk, a simple yet fun way to encourage Interconnectivity and the Power of Relationships within our Community while the school year is out of session.

How it works:

1. I will post below the name of someone I'm sending 1 bean to and what prompted me in choosing them. Once I've confirmed my posting was successful I'll submit that person their bean.

2. Whoever responds next (this may be anyone and does not have to be the person I've chosen) will pick another individual or grouping to mention and send them 2 beans

3. The next person will send 3 beans

4. Then 4 beans

5. And so on!

[ you get the idea ^_~ ]

You may contribute as many times as you like, as well as repeat someone previously mentioned. The goal is to see how high we can cultivate our Beanstalk together from July 1 to August 31 at 11:59pm (HOL time). Along the way, you never know when a notification and/or special mention could be the brightening point of someone's day or spark up conversation between new and old friends alike. Perhaps we’ll reach even higher than last year’s Beanstalk!

If you've never used the "send beans" option before on someone else's Member Profile through the main HOL site, the icon is demonstrated in the following image which showcases two horizontal arrows pointing away from each other (the top one going right, the bottom going left).

While we would love, Love, LOVE to hear any special reasons for who you'll be sending beans to at any given time —whether they've helped out somewhere or brightened your day(s) in even the smallest of meaningful ways— please, at minimum, include in your post the chosen person's Name and the Number of Beans you are sending them as a reflection of how big our collective Stalk is growing (i.e. "Prof. Sindor Aloyarc - 1")

Regardless of how high the total number gets, we'd like to make this as inclusive as possible for anyone who may not have had the opportunity to earn enough beans to participate. If you do not currently have enough beans yourself to contribute to the person of your choosing but would like to get involved, please feel more than encouraged to touch base!

Reach out and say hello If you have any questions or considerations.

Let the growing begin!!

The 1st bean will be going to Prof. Sky Alton, for all the ways you help keep me sane, and how much you make this castle a priority. HOL would not be the same without your beautiful presence and energy, and I cannot imagine my life without having had your friendship.

3 beans pelted off toward Prof. Will Lestrange, Emerald Wolvenhowl, Maxim Trevelyan, & Prof. Tarma Amelia Black for being the first group who by the end of this school year have passed through both parts of Muggle Studies: Hidden Powers. It's been such a help having had people to engage with and receive feedback from on the different modules and aspects of this class, and I truly appreciate all you've shared/offered up along the way. <3

11 beans are flying off to Maxim Trevelyan, Mia Fountain, and Prof. Sindor Aloyarc!

Maxim and Mia, many thanks for putting up with my endless questions and helping me navigate the world of Head Student. I couldn't have asked for a better team of people to make the journey with, that's for sure!

Sindor, you are a breath of fresh air, and you make my day brighter whenever I hear from you. I'm so glad we've gotten to work together these past years, and I look forward eagerly to our future collaborations.

Tossing 12 beans in the directions of Katelin Ross and Elena Galatas who I’ve been able to get to know a bit more this past year. Whether through activities and/or Quidditch things, or from opportunities to chat here and there on IRC: I’ve really enjoyed crossing paths a bit more recently to learn about you both and build relationships together.

Maxim and Emily, thank you for being great to work with as head students. Thank you both for being there to bounce ideas off of and to keep things running smoothly.

Sindor, thank you for all the work you do around HOL and in Ravenclaw. Thank you for running Quidditch practice, we will need to see if we get some botting practice in over the summer months.

Showering 19 beans over to Jodie Smith for bouncing around to some of the different activities, and getting involved with Quidditch. You showed quite an impressive knack for throwing yourself into the game! Will hope to catch you out on the pitch over future matches. :D
