As the 2025–2026 academic year comes to a close, St. Nicholas Cathedral School celebrated the season with two beautiful moments.
On May 26, our entire school community gathered for the annual school picnic — a wonderful opportunity for students, parents, and teachers to celebrate the end of another meaningful year together. Smith Park was bursting with the energy of our children: outdoor games, delicious treats, colorful chalk drawings, laughter, excitement, and endless smiles created a day full of unforgettable memories.
We are grateful to our parent volunteers, donors and our very own police officers from the 12th district - Officer Carla and Officer Mark who accompanied and helped keep our children safe throughout the walk.
At the same time, our youngest students from the PreK Busy Bees class prepared a very special surprise for our graduates. Over the course of two weeks, the children explored the incredible transformation from caterpillar to butterfly through stories, artwork, crafts, videos, and hands-on activities as part of a nature project dedicated to the butterfly life cycle. The most magical moment came when our youngest students and our graduates came together to release the butterflies the children had carefully raised themselves — a beautiful symbol of growth, transformation, and new beginnings beyond SNCS.🦋
Education is the ability to help a child discover their wings. And to all the beautiful and strong butterflies preparing to spread those wings beyond SNCS — may you always remember that the world is brighter because of your colors.
Thank you to our students, families, and teachers for making this year so special! ❤️
