Elmwood Theatre captivated audiences last week with a stunning production of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, brought to life through the hard work and talent of the cast, crew, and creative team. A heartfelt thank you goes to Ms. Maitland, Ms. Benson, and our enthusiastic audiences for their support in making this magical performance a success.
Elmwood by the numbers
Developing confident, engaged and healthy girls requires balance. Life outside of the classroom at Elmwood complements and enhances the academic program and reflects the needs and interests of today’s girls. Clubs, sports teams, student government and the House system offer numerous opportunities to explore passions and connect with those who share them.
