This week, Junior School students Josie and Annabelle stepped into the roles of Junior School Principals for the Day, a special opportunity made possible through Elmwood’s Gala live auction. They led with enthusiasm, declaring a Civvies Day and organizing a pizza lunch for all students—bringing joy and school spirit to everyone’s day.
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.
