Successes in 2013-2014

Thank you to: * Our School Presidents Christine Wilkie and Prince Prodon and the rest of the Student Council

for representing us so well and for organizing an awesome Spirit Week. * Our Middle Years’ Student Council for making EHS a more caring place.

The EHS Legacy Fund is the largest

scholarship/bursary fund of any public

high school in Manitoba that is adminis-

tered by the Winnipeg Foundation. They

have raised $190,000 in only five years

and have 4 ongoing awards of $1000 and

one $1000 scholarship. Our Alumni’s

support is greatly appreciated.

Donations can be made to

the Winnipeg Foundation.
