Kindergarten

Take time to stop and smell the roses! The Kindergarten will inspire you with this beautiful rose garden surrounding a black and white collage of little faces. Let’s watch these little personalities bloom with a colorful start to the many years at St. Cecilia.

First Grade

Mrs. Swanson’s First Grade class art project explores color and the various historical forms of the cross. The project was inspired by the similarity of marking the cross on the forehead with ashes to the childhood joy of finger-painting. The assembled cross forms make a joyful statement of praise through youthful exuberance.

Second Grade

A one-of-a-kind, free-standing rustic iron cross (approx 27” h & 15” w), decorated with water-colored stones created by the entire 2nd Grade class capturing what their First Holy Communion means to them.

Third Grade

Spectacular three piece metal coffee table with glass top. There is one large serving table with two cube nesting tables. Around the frame of each table, there are Catholic symbols drawn by the St. Cecilia third grade students which were then cut into the metal frame using a plasma cutter.

Fourth Grade

Heart of the Cathedral - A 12” x 12” leather book of photographs taken by the fourth grade students. Enjoy trying to find the location of these photos, while appreciating the beauty of the Cathedral through the eyes of our students. Many of the photos were taken while on private behind-the-scenes tours by Fr. Gutgsell.

Fifth Grade

The fifth grade has created a perpetual calendar splashed with color and advice. This magnetic chalkboard will keep everyone in your family on schedule throughout the year.

Sixth Grade

Painting of St. Cecilia Cathedral – This beautiful painting of St. Cecilia’s is based on a photograph taken by parishioner Mark Kresl. A digital file of the photo was first manipulated on a computer to create solid blocks of color that represent the shadows and detail of the Cathedral. The image was enlarged and separated into 35 rectangles. Each student received one of the rectangles. They carefully transferred the image onto a piece of illustration board using a grid system to ensure accuracy, and then painted the board. The individual paintings were then reassembled to create a 24 x 36” composite of our beautiful Cathedral. Their project brings to mind ‘We are many parts, we are all one body’.

Seventh Grade

The 7th grade class art project consists of multiple copper “tiles” embossed by the students. The “tiles’, enhanced with decorative glass, are arranged in a pattern to form a frame for a 20” by 30” mirror.

Eighth Grade

The eighth graders are getting ready to leave the St. Cecilia Elementary nest! Each 8th grader designed a colorful bird to be placed on a tree ready to fly away. What a delightful way to celebrate the culmination of their years together!
