Metro Catholic School

🐾✨ What a Friday at Metro Catholic School! ✨🐾

Our day was full of meaningful memories, joyful celebrations, and school spirit.

We began with a beautiful prayer service and candlelight ceremony, where our 8th graders literally passed the “torch” — or candle — to our 7th graders, who will soon step forward as Metro’s newest student leaders and role models. 🕯️

Our 8th graders then gathered for a special farewell luncheon in St. Stephen’s Club Room, enjoying a delicious menu from our cafeteria and Ms. Koziol. They also received their graduation shirts and travel journals to mark all the new experiences, adventures, and opportunities ahead.

Principal Gehring helped celebrate this important transition by reading Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss — a perfect reminder that our 8th graders are ready for the exciting road from middle school to high school and beyond. 🎓

And, of course, Metro students and teachers brought plenty of color and energy to the day with our spirited Neon Day! 💚💛🧡💙

We have five more days of school this year, and they are packed with field trips, celebrations, and our 8th Grade Graduation Ceremony on Tuesday.

Way to shine, Cougars! 🐾

Today, Metro Catholic School celebrated our May Crowning at St. Stephen Church next door.

The beautiful service was led by our Cougar Cubs Pre-K students, along with our middle school students. We are also grateful to Sister Patti and Ms. Roberts for leading us through the readings and helping make this special Marian celebration so meaningful.

A wonderful reminder of faith, tradition, and community at Metro Catholic School. 💙🙏🌸

Ms. Musa’s Kindergarten students stepped back in time while learning about colonial towns and the important jobs of townspeople, including bread makers and millers.

To bring their lesson to life, students kneaded bread dough and made butter from scratch! A special thank-you to Ms. Anna for baking the bread the students prepared.

Hands-on learning makes history delicious! 🍞🧈

🎨 Big Cougars Helping Little Cougars!
Our 7th graders showed true Metro Catholic leadership by helping our kindergarteners tie-dye shirts for Field Day! We love seeing our older students guide, encourage, and care for our younger Cougar Cubs.
