When Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School seventh-graders finished reading The Diary of Anne Frank, teachers Maureen Danzig, David Gale and Kathy Yukishige wanted to bring the story even more to life and invited performers from the Georgia Ensemble Theatre to campus.

Actors visited the school on March 17 and performed a powerful, multi-media piece that tells the story of the hidden children of the Holocaust. In the piece, two surviving friends of Anne Frank—Eva Schloss and Ed Silverberg—are portrayed, recounting their World War II stories via videotaped interviews and through actors on stage. The show, “And Then They Came for Me: Remembering the World of Anne Frank,” was written by James Still and directed by Peter Hardy.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- Being tapped for membership in the National Honor Society (NHS) is among the highest honors a high school student can receive. Membership is awarded only to those students who have demonstrated excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character—characteristics that have been associated with membership in the organization since its beginning in 1921.

On March 5, during Upper School Chapel, 37 Holy Innocents' Episcopal School students received that honor. Each was given a white NHS stole by a faculty member, who placed it over the student's shoulders. During graduation ceremonies on May 16, this stole will be worn over the commencement robe.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- On Feb. 27, young students at Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School celebrated Dr. Seuss Day by dressing up as a colorful cast of Seuss characters, including Things 1 and 2, Cindy Lou Who, Horton the Elephant, The Lorax, the Grinch’s dog Max, and—of course—the Cat in the Hat.

Holy Innocents’ stages the parade every year to celebrate the birthday of author/illustrator Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) who produced such beloved children’s book classics as How The Grinch Stole Christmas and The Cat in the Hat. Dr. Seuss’ birthday, which is actually March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.
