A brief word from your Captain.

Hello there wizards!

The shift of the season is upon us and with it brings a new beginning with opportunities for growth and advancement in our studies.

Spring also brings inspiration for new ideas. Awaking from the slumber of winter, drifting into warmer days, we start experiencing the world around us in a fresh new way.

As this term comes to an end. New opportunities becomes available to us and new leadership springs into existence. Come share your vision with us at the school and make your vision your reality with us.

I look forward to seeing you on the forums and joining with our leaders at the school.

Another month passed,
another newsletter written! I am still convinced that time flies!

I sincerely hope that you and yours are staying safe and well in these crazy times and that your studies are going well. Our Apprentices at the Grey School come from every corner of the world and it is our kindness and shared interests that bring us together. 

It is also that time again when we look to our next Prefect to take the reins and lead our fantastic lodge to glory! If interested, you are more than welcome to reach out to me with any questions that you may have and I will do my utmost to answer these for you!

I would like to say thank you all for your support during my time as Prefect so far, it has been the biggest honour since joining the Grey School! You've all done us extremely proud and regardless of how the battle for lodge points concludes, I know we have all tried our best and that is all I can ask!

We come to the end of another newsletter! Please feel free to get in touch with me if you need help with anything.

Thank you so much. Stay safe!

Welcome to the final month of the term!

It has been an honor to serve as your Prefect this term. It has been a pleasure to meet and work with each of you. At the end of this term, I will be stepping down as your Prefect, with the hope that another of you takes up the mantle.

Leadership Opportunities:
Every term we have a chance for an apprentice to serve as a Prefect for the lodge. Do you have some great ideas for how the lodge could improve?
How the Prefect could do a better job at things? How to get the lodge more engaged in the events of the school?

Greetings Apprentices and Magisters of the Spire.

Prefect Macanrothaic here for the last monthly low-down and giddy-up for the term! I want to thank everyone for allowing me to serve you as your Prefect!

The term is coming to an end, and it has indeed been most honoring of you to allow me to act as your Prefect. I encourage any of you who have interest in acting as Prefect or a different position in leadership to take the entry level leadership classes! It is well worth the experience!

Thank you to those who have ties to the Winds Lodge for the appearance and participation in throwing a splendiferous celebration this February!

Lets also give a warm
welcome to our new Apprentices: Apprentice Josh
Apprentice Wizard
Apprentice Linds
Apprentice Morgana1
Apprentice Marshall
and
Apprentice Generosity

 I look forward to the leadership of the next apprentice willing to take up the mantle of Prefect, and with that I bid you adieu.

Many Blessings Upon Ya’ll!

Merry meet, Stones and Happy Spring! 
This is the last newsletter of the term, so let’s dig in!

Magister ElisabethCloaked and Apprentice RavenAllanonIronwood; Welcome to the Stones Lodge!

The 20th marks the Spring Equinox and that means we’re stepping into a new term. We’re still a handful of classes away from winning LUMOS again, so if you’ve completed classes this term, please list them HERE so we can include them in our submission! 

A new term also means a new leadership scabbard and I encourage each of you to consider running, if not this term, then maybe next! To learn more about starting your leadership journey, read the full newsletter using the link below. 

Congrats to Apprentices Draco Rufus and DamionX for completing February’s challenge and earning a merit for our lodge! Apprentice Draco Rufus also earned a second merit by completing our term-long challenge! Outstanding !You can also earn merits by achieving a 100% on a final exam.

Congratulations to Apprentices Snork and Luxx for achieving a perfect score on a final in February! Well done!

March also brings us a new challenge to work on and I really think you’re going to enjoy this one! Here’s a hint: think spirit animals :)

A message from your
Vice-Captain
 

Greetings and Salutations one and all.

It is that time of year again here at Grey School, time for the Scabbard of Apprentice Leadership to change to the next group of Apprentices.

I want to let anyone who is interested in Apprentice Leadership know that serving as Prefect for Waters Lodge and now as Vice-Captain for the adult lodges has been a very rewarding experience. My fellow leadership members have helped me improve my communication skills, clarify my vision for monthly challenges as well as my own goals. Hosting vMoots, workshops, as well as Meet and Greets has brought me a sense of community with my fellow Apprentices.Not only with the Leadership members but with the entire school. I recommend Apprentice Leadership as a way to give back to Grey School, aid and learn from fellow Apprentices, and to have a good time while learning new skills. I treasure my memories of my time in leadership and I've made friends around the world.

It is almost Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere, a season I am very ready for! I have already redone my garden plan at least 3 times! I am excited to grow the seeds from a Blue Hubbard Squash I was gifted last fall.

Our next vMoot is on March 19. It will be presented on the Second Life Campus and live streamed as usual.

I hope to see you all there!

Bright Blessings,
Vice-Captain Dragonwolf
