Recognizing Lunar New Year, Student Leaders and House Standings

In a student-led assembly on January 23, Greenwood recognized the Lunar New Year and celebrated Student Leadership awards and a House reveal. First, the Asian Affinity Club acknowledged the Lunar New Year and how it is traditionally celebrated across Asia. The club also prepared a fun scavenger hunt for students to garner House points by locating red envelopes and paper rabbits (in honour of the Year of the Rabbit) hidden around the school.

Three students were nominated by the Greenwood community to receive a student leadership award. Ella Davidson ‘23, Evan Edgell ‘24 and Caymus Ruffalo ‘23 were recognized for their school involvement and leadership in the Greenwood community. While the awards this time were given to students in formal leadership positions, any student can be nominated for this award based on their school involvement and leadership.

Finally, the House assembly concluded with a full-school Heads or Tails game and House reveal. The House reps braved the potential for a splatter of a raw egg if their House happened to place lower in the rankings. Congratulations to House Nahanni for rising to first place with a narrow one-point margin above House Wernham. Will Nahanni maintain this momentum to the end of the year? Wait to find out at the next House reveal!

Students also got to enjoy the work of their peers in our Advertising Class who created many funny and creative video PSAs about appropriate school behaviour.
