works of art—one per day, for 50 days. This format encourages a systematic approach, and since Pat is often inter- ested in the intersection between math and art, she applied. Her concept was not to create 50 separate pieces, but 50 pieces that work together. She utilized the nine-patch pattern found in many Colonial American quilts while working with different values and complementary colors. Congrats to Pat! JACKIE JUNG, Front Desk Operations Jackie’s daughter, Rachel, was married to William Robinson on September 1, 2017. Rachel has worked at CSB as a substitute teacher, a Kindercamp teacher, and also special counselor to the summer China trip with former Chinese teacher, Alison Lee. Rachel and William’s first child was born in August 2018. Jackie is over the moon. SUSAN RICE, Former Performing Arts Teacher Marcella (Zella) Rochelle Rice was welcomed with love by Tim and Susan Rice on April 23, 2018 at 4:32 p.m. (9lbs, 2oz; 21.5 inches). Susan was a former performing arts teacher at Cathedral School and has been serving as Head of School at Palm Valley School in Rancho Mirage since her appointment there in 2016. ROB KERMAN, Former Third-Grade Teacher During Rob’s recent trip to Portugal, he visited The Reverend Dr. Frank Sawyer, former CSB chaplain, who is now chaplain to The Greater Lisbon Chaplaincy, over- seeing St. George’s Church and St. Paul’s Church. Frank and his wife, Ginnelle, their daughters, Maggie (12) and Pippa (7), live about 25-minutes west of Lisbon near Estoril and Cascais which is close to one of the two churches of the Chaplaincy, St Paul’s. Rob and Frank met up in Lisbon and Rob was able to see St. George’s and play the “historic but tired organ” (Frank’s words—they are launching a campaign to refurbish the organ).

THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR WAS LUKAS RAHLSON’S FIRST YEAR AT CATHEDRAL, WHERE HE TEACHES FIFTH- AND SIXTH-GRADE SCIENCE AND COORDINATES THE SCHOOL’S OUTDOOR EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS. After graduating from Hotchkiss School, Mr. Rahlson earned a B.A. in environmental geology from Middlebury College and an M.Ed. in independent school education from Vanderbilt University. Prior to moving to San Francisco, Mr. Rahlson taught for six years at Saint Mark’s School, a boys’ school in Dallas, Texas, where he coached football and lacrosse. In his free time, Mr. Rahlson enjoys fly-fishing or being in the great outdoors with his fiancée and his dog. Mr. Rahlson has made a seamless transition to Cathedral and his charismatic personality, sense of humor, and passion for his work has endeared him to the community. He has been an integral part of the fifth-grade team, and his strong ability to connect with the boys has made a very positive impact. He has a strong belief in not only educating students about science, but also about character development. He always makes time to talk with students about their lives and to support them as they grow as people—leading by example. Mr. Rahlson also finds ways to connect the real world with the classroom. His love of science and interest in environmental issues propelled him to invite Dutch inventor and environmentalist, Boyan Slat, to the School to speak about his revolutionary approach to cleaning up the ocean. This summer, Mr. Rahlson led a series of voluntary off-campus trips with students and faculty to explore the outdoors and to learn more about the environment. Mr. Rahlson is a dedicated professional and a great addition to the Cathedral family!
