At SNCS, books are an important part of our Early Learning Program 📚🐝✨
This week, our Preschool Busy Bees visited the Chicago Public Library. As Busy Bee teacher Ms. Melnyk shared, “In this classroom, books hold a very special place. A book often becomes a child’s first friend. Whenever they have a free moment, they naturally reach for books. They are learning to ‘read’ pictures, create their own stories, and share their ideas with friends. Story time is one of their favorite parts of the day, as they listen carefully, discuss the story, and explore it together.”
Students enjoyed stories, songs, and time with librarian Ms. Mary, making it a joyful and meaningful trip that connected beautifully to their classroom experience.

We are happy to share that yesterday, April 21, St. Nicholas Cathedral School had the honor of welcoming guests – Kathryn and Steve Butzlaff and Amy Drozda from Big Shoulders Fund.
Our students prepared a program of songs, poems, and heartfelt greetings to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Butzlaff. A special highlight of the visit was hearing from students about their participation in the Big Shoulders Fund sponsored Stock Market and the Law Programs.
Our guests also had the opportunity to ask our students questions, learn about their academic journey, especially from our 8th grade students, who are nearing the completion of their time at SNCS and have been admitted to some of the top high schools in Chicago.
We are truly grateful to the Butzlaff’s and to Big Shoulders Fund for their visit and belief in the value of education. Your kindness and dedication make it possible not only to sustain initiatives and projects that enrich our students’ learning experience.
