EHS Onstage presents The Crucible Episcopal theatre brings the Salem witch trials to life
PAIGE PAN Features Editor On Thursday, November 21, the school hosted its annual Grandparents Day, a cherished tradition that invites grandparents and special guests to spend the morning on campus with their grandchildren. This event provides students with the rare opportunity to share their school environment with the people who have shaped their lives beyond the classroom. For many students, it is one of the most anticipated days of the year because it allows them to introduce their grandparents to the routines, classrooms, and teachers that fill their everyday lives. The school community views this day as a reminder of how valuable family support is to student growth. The event began with a chapel service in the morning located in Alkek Gym. Students and faculty prepared Scripture readings and reflections on gratitude. The chapel message centered on the influence of grandparents, more specifically their roles as mentors, storytellers, and steady supports throughout a child’s life. The program aims to allow students to publicly express appreciation for their family’s history and values. Seeing grandparents in the audience offers a meaningful moment for students, making the experience feel personal and significant. After the chapel service, students with visiting grandparents have the option to leave school to spend time with their family members. Many students prefer to leave, as they plan to eat lunch and catch up with their extended family. Overall, Grandparents Day is a highly anticipated event for many students.

“The Crucible is a play loosely based on the Salem Witch Trials, where fear and accusations spiral out of control. Students get to showcase their acting abilities by displaying a dark side of American history. They bring to life the stories of real people with evocative performances, pulling the audience in with the play’s riveting plot.” Learn more about The Crucible on Page 2
