Our Traditions
Rooted in Tradition
When we think back to our school days, we can easily remember the friendships we made, the events we participated in, and the traditions we celebrated. These traditions allow us to nurture our school community and create cherished memories. We come together to welcome new families, honor our grandparents and special friends, stay in touch with current and former families, and establish lifelong connections with all who have been a part of the Episcopal Day community.
Halloween Parade
Students, faculty, and staff showcase their creativity on Halloween with incredible costumes. Parents and guardians come to watch a parade in the morning and cheer on our student's clever ensembles.
GrandFriends' Day
This fall event is one of our most cherished traditions. Grandparents and special friends share a morning at school with their students, who show their appreciation with a special Chapel program.
Fall Festival
Fall Festival, a family event hosted by the DSPA in September, is the perfect way to kick-off the new school year for the whole community. Rides, activities, and food for all ages make up the fun.
Blessing of the Animals
St. Francis Day is for the whole family — children, parents, and pets! The community gathers outside for a short service and the school chaplain blesses each of the pets.
Science Fair
The Science Fair involves participation from students across all grades, with a focus on individual projects presented by middle schoolers. A significant number of our students' projects have advanced to both regional and state science fairs.
8th Grade VS. Faculty Kickball Game
The Mustang Meadow is filled with blue and yellow waves as the 8th-grade students compete against the faculty and staff in a kickball game. This nostalgic student vs. faculty match is a community-wide event that is cherished by all!
Graduation
The graduation ceremony marks the pinnacle of achievement for our eighth-grade students and their families. Following the sound of the traditional bagpipes, families walk into Chapel to celebrate the students' accomplishments.
