Some things change, and gratefully some cherished few stay the same. December is a time for beloved traditions at CHS and within the greater community: the Carol Service, the Seasonal Social, and the Victoria Holiday Tea at The Fairmont Empress. In this edition of the 1898 alumnae newsletter, we have a look back at some of the exciting annual events that occurred in December.

We were fortunate enough to catch Wina Huang ‘13 when she recently dropped by the school between her very busy semesters at Columbia University. The occasion for her visit was truly remarkable: she was here to receive both the CHS Alumnae Association’s Scholastic Achievement Award and the Governor General’s Academic Medal.

Save The Date and get inspired! The 4th annual Inspiring Women event is slated to take place on April 9. In past years, the event has offered a very honest and lively take on some of the impressive things that Crofton House alumnae go on to accomplish. It’s also a lovely evening to socialize with old friends and connect with other members of the CHS alumnae community.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Crofton House School archives, and archivist Reto Tschan has put out a call for alumnae volunteers to help with a number of cataloguing projects. If you enjoy sorting through old photos and objects, and bringing order to chaos, these opportunities may be well worth considering.
