We’re proud to introduce our new regular blogger Nina from the Elmwood Eagles Team!


Elmwood’s Prefect Team generates school spirit by organizing events, represent their fellow students with the School’s administration and act as role models to other Elmwood girls. As Prefect at Large, Nina is responsible for promoting community service at Elmwood, and as extension has been named the Student Chair for Elmwood’s Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation CIBC Run for the Cure Committee.  Nina is a grade twelve student and has attended Elmwood since grade nine.  Nina is looking forward to making sure the Elmwood team reaches of its goals for the 2010 Run for the Cure!

Well hello everybody!

Being part of the Elmwood Eagles Run for the Cure team is something every Elmwood student is encouraged to do. For me, being part of the preparation process this year is very special, and I’m honoured to tell you all about how the Eagles get ready for the Run!

In order to reach or exceed our team goal there are a few steps that we will undertake at Elmwood. The first step was announcing our “Initiation Prize.” In order to encourage Elmwood students to take part in the Run for the Cure and start their fundraising over the summer, we announced in an assembly before the school year ended that there would be an exciting prize draw for those who registered early.  The initiation prize can be anything from a small prize to something a bit bigger but make sure to announce the prize so everyone knows about it. So remember, step 1: Get people interested!!
