And we're back! After a well-earned summer break, all faculty, staff and students have returned to the school building and are busy settling into our new old routines. The new 4th and 8th graders are excitedly taking on their roles as leaders of the Lower School and Upper School respectively, the new Kindergarteners are absolutely adorable and ready to learn, and everyone is generally bursting with joy!

On a sunny Saturday in April, the Cathedral classes of 1990 through 1999 (and one enthusiastic 2019 alum!), as well as several current and former members of the faculty and staff, gathered in our Dining Room for The Cathedral School 90s Reunion. It was truly gratifying to see the warmth and affection the alumni had for each other after so many years—even those who had fallen out of touch greeted one another with excitement and big hugs. It was especially fun to see everyone reunite with Ms. Linda Brown, who was a beloved Cathedral fixture for 34 years until her retirement in 2016, and was considered by many to be the heart and soul of the School during her tenure.

The Alumni were excited to tour the building—many of them getting a chance to see our new spaces in the Expansion for the first time, as well to as explore old haunts. There were memories and stories shared in every classroom they entered—like signing up to walk former Head of School Gerald Grossman's dog Apollo, or making the short film A Boy and His Car. The time flew by! As the evening came to a close, many alumni seemed reluctant to leave the School, and when we very gently reminded them that the building was closing, one alumnus captured the feeling of the 90s Reunion perfectly, telling us, "No, we're re-enrolling!"

The 2022 Absalom Jones Benefit was held on a gorgeous spring evening at the the iconic Central Park Boathouse, and we were thrilled to have several alumni and alumni parents join us. It was a wonderful night of food, dancing, and reconnecting in person—all while raising over $100,000 for student financial aid at Cathedral!
