Time Capsule
Students will be given a time capsule to deposit some of the cherished objects which they need to bring on the rehearsal day, as they will be wrapped with your names affixed to them. Such valuable items (letters, photos, small electronic devices, USB, T-shirt, etc., noting that big objects must be avoided) will revive memories of the good old days when the graduates will open the time capsule 10 years later, on July 31, 2031. A memorable activity not to be missed!
