Old Girls’ Art Fair and, Holly Tea a Great Success!
On December 1 we kicked off Elmwood’s holiday weekend with the Old Girls’ Art Show Vernissage. The evening featured over 90 pieces of artwork, including work by local artists, alumnae, alumnae parents, current students, current parents, and past and present staff. Congratulations to Liz Heatherington ‘63, Lynne Evenson ‘79 and the Old Girls’ Art Fair Organizing Committee for putting together such a fabulous event! The show continued for the rest of the weekend, and on Saturday, December 2, the school was also hustling and bustling with holiday festivities! Elmwood parents, students, staff and friends gathered in our beautifully decorated gymnasium to browse the Holiday Marketplace, where a variety of vendors displayed their baked goods, jewellery, clothing, handmade delights and more. Later in the afternoon, our guests were treated to tea and sweets as part of our traditional Holly Tea event. Santa was also available for all those wishing to have their picture taken with him! Congratulations to Aileen Conway, Alexei O’Connor and the Elmwood Parents’ Association for organizing such a holly jolly day!
