The Elm Leaf
Spring 2025
As the school year draws to a close, this issue celebrates the energy, achievement, and spirit that define life at Our Lady of the Elms. From powerful visits by community leaders like Congresswoman Emilia Sykes and Clerk of Courts Veronica Sims, to the artistic triumph of Frozen Jr. and the heartfelt reflections of our seniors, this season has been rich with growth and inspiration.
Inside, you’ll find highlights from across all divisions—students exploring history firsthand in Washington D.C., winning regional contests, showcasing public speaking skills, and carrying forward the Elms flame with pride and purpose. Whether through civic engagement, creative expression, academic excellence, or athletic achievement, our students continue to live out what it means to be compassionate leaders.

It has been quite a while since the Elm Leaf was last published. We’ve been out of print for about nine years, if you can believe it! The Elm Leaf is back stronger than ever now, and we’re ready to cater fascinating articles to the student body with our return.
This month, we have an article explaining Native American History Month, a debate poll that you can participate in, a story on the Day of the Dead and its festivities, a report on Senior Night, a feature from the Lower School, and the exciting news that the Bishop is coming to Our Lady of the Elms for a special Mass! Buckle up, readers, and enjoy The Elm Leaf!
