Last week, the Junior School students participated in Elmwood's first Sports for All Day where the featured sport was Basketball. Students had a great time, a great workout and gained exposure to basketball related skills. 

International Night 2023 was a smashing success! There were a variety of performances, delicious food, and a fabulous fashion show, it was a beautiful night filled with celebration. Thank you to everyone who performed, attended, organized, and made this event possible - especially Ms Ellison, without whom this event would not run!

The trip to New York City this year was incredible, with a great Elmwood group, amazing weather, and tons of great experiences! Both students and teachers had a blast seeing the sights. This trip's itinerary was built around art and fashion, as part of the Creativity pillar of the Elmwood co-curricular framework. 

The Selladore, Elmwood’s student-led arts magazine, was created with the intention of giving students a space for creative expression and a platform for the articulation of individual voices. This year's first issue is here, titled "Light Show", available here for you to check out the incredible talents of Elmwood's art students. 

This past week, the Grade 7 science classes set off for Montreal, more specifically, the Cosmodôme! They were bound for an epic three days at Space Camp, where they partook in a wide range of space exploration activities and workshops. 

On October 20th, we launched the Elmwood Fund, our annual giving campaign. The Elmwood Fund is a visionary fund that helps the school achieve strategic initiatives that are not covered by the cost of tuition. 

Yesterday was the annual Nightingale Breakfast. All proceeds from this event go towards Make a Wish Foundation, thank you to everyone who attended and made this event possible. Extra special thank you and congratulations to Head of Nightingale, Macaila, for planning and organizing such a successful Nightingale Day! 

Congratulations to our alumni, Sarah Onyango ’83 and Elizabeth Heatherington ’63, for their recognition by Volunteer Ottawa at the 2023 Volunteer Awards. Extremely well deserved!
