Students Play Clue Game As EPCHS Teachers Become ‘Suspects’
The game went on for nearly two weeks, coinciding with the fine arts department's production of "Clue: The Musical."
EVERGREEN PARK, IL – Dozens of Evergreen Park Community High School students had fun over the past two weeks playing a game of “Clue: LRC Style.” Mirroring the traditional Clue board game, students were tasked with finding out which of the 12 teacher “suspects” was the culprit, along with the location in the school and the book they were reading.
At the end of the game, it was revealed that science teacher Bryn Zingrebe was the correct suspect, reading “The Nickel Boys,” at State and Madison (a central location inside the school).
Other teachers participating as “suspects” included Michael Carey, Matt Kovacs, Michelle Vucsko, Tom Minarik, Brian English, Ree McDonald, Maggie O’Shea, Karen Hewitt, Tammy Pietruszynski, Abra Petraitis and Anna Papasideris.

Students Tristan Wagner, Theresa Brady and David Ortiz won prizes as the first three to turn in their Clue game pieces. Charley Burns also turned in a game piece.
Events like this organized by the school’s LRC, short for Learning Resource Center, are tied into other school events whenever possible, Dr. Tina Ward, a librarian and media specialist at EPCHS, said.

In all, Ward said 27 students were handed game pieces, and asked questions of each suspect in the school halls during passing periods, and before and after school.
The idea for the LRC Clue game began in 2009, the most recent time before this year that the school’s fine arts department put on “Clue: The Musical.” Performances of the show this year were held on Thursday and Friday in the school auditorium.
