Students had the opportunity to practice their reading skills, build confidence speaking in front of others, and share a variety of poems they have been learning. It was wonderful to watch them bring poetry to life through expression, creativity, and enthusiasm.

A huge congratulations to our second graders for all of their hard work and courage as they shared their voices and celebrated the joy of poetry together. We are so proud of them! ❤️

It is always special to see former students walk back through these halls and reflect on how much they have grown over the years. Watching them return reminds us just how quickly time passes and how proud we are of the young adults they have become.

As you begin this next journey, know that Cathedral will always be cheering you on. We wish you nothing but success, happiness, and new adventures ahead.

For the past 17 years, Mrs. Nielsen’s neighbor, Ki For the past 17 years, Mrs. Nielsen’s neighbor, Kim Culp, has generously brought a Tin Lizzie for our 5th graders to explore as part of our decades unit! This year, students had the opportunity to see a beautiful 1915 Tin Lizzie up close and learn just how different transportation looked over 100 years ago.

Some fun facts our students learned:

🚗 Many Tin Lizzies were started using a hand crank instead of a key!
🚗 Early windshield wipers were manually operated — sometimes drivers had to move them by hand!
🚗 Headlights originally ran on gas or acetylene before electric lights became standard.
🚗 The engine was simple by today’s standards, making repairs easier and allowing many owners to work on them themselves.
🚗 Many models had wooden wheels and wooden floorboards instead of the metal and materials we are used to today.

Thank you, Kim, for continuing this incredible tradition and helping bring history to life for our students year after year!

Our students represented Cathedral so well through teamwork, encouragement, sportsmanship, and plenty of laughter. They worked together, challenged themselves, made memories, and yes… definitely got a little dirty in the process! 😄

We are so thankful for the beautiful weather and for the opportunity for our students to build connections and confidence while having an absolute blast outdoors. Great job, Panthers! 💛☀️
