Cathedral High School sure does have some cool stuff goin' on! First, I headed over to the baseball field to check out the intramural girls kickball team. After they made sure I was in appropriate attire (Cathedral tie-dye t-shirt), we split up into teams and played ball! The girls were so animated and excited...I had a blast (even though both times I kicked the ball, I scored nothing but a big ole' OUT!)
After saying my goodbyes, I took a tour of Cathedrals new Black Box Theatre, Scene Shop and Costume Shop. WOW! These kids are going to be able to put on some amazing shows with this new facility. I sat and watched them rehearse for their upcoming play, "Our Town" and pulled a few students aside to ask what they thought was so cool about their new building. Everyone agreed that the talent has always been there, but now the theatre students have a chance to grow even more...lucky kids!
Students at Cathedral are required to have 100 service hours to graduate...100 HOURS!!! My jaw dropped. How is that cool? After seeing the students at the Habitat for Humanity build, I realized generosity and compassion cannot be learned from a book...these students took pride in giving to others. It was truly a phenomenal experience. NOW THAT'S COOL!
