ST. CATHERINE–ST. LUCY SCHOOL

Through this partnership, a Living Record teaching artist, Cayla Jones, worked with a sixth-grade classroom over eight weeks, guiding students through the Time Capsule experience. The work centered on a simple but essential prompt: What would you put into a time capsule to capture who you are right now? Through writing, drawing, and structured conversation, students reflected on their experiences, explored what matters to them, and created time capsules to be sealed and revisited in 2035. Students captured their perspectives, values, and emerging sense of self. Some reflected on relationships and interests, while others focused on lessons they are learning and the kind of person they want to become. As they shared their work, moments of insight surfaced—making visible something that is often left unspoken: their own voice.
