To The Crookston Times readers,

It is with regret that CherryRoad Media announces the closing of The Crookston Times

Our company is dedicated to the preservation of community journalism. Since the purchase of our 1st paper in late-2020 to today, we have prided ourselves on our ability to fight the difficult battle that newspapers face in today’s digital society. Unfortunately, that battle cannot always be won.

The Crookston Times has struggled in recent years to find its footing in this community. Since purchasing The Crookston Times, CherryRoad Media has been unable to avoid financial losses every month. The paper was losing money when we bought it, and it continued to do so. We must now come to terms with the fact that we do not have a path forward to sustainability.

And we thank those who have supported us.

Out of this World!

many memories. Some of the memories I have are once when me and my friends buried each other in the snow outside to see who could stay buried the longest.

Cathedral School Is Out Of This World.

Cathedral is out of this world because we get to learn things about God! On Wednesdays we get to go to Mass and listen to the reading and we also get to serve at mass. We get to do morning prayer on Monday and Fridays in the morning.

Cathedral is out of this world

Cathedral school is out of this world because we get to go to church, music, art, confession, and we get to receive communion. It has been a blast going to Cathedral School with all my friends and with my siblings.

Why is Cathedral School “out of this world’?

Cathedral School is out of this world because I have the best teacher ever, awesome friends, and fun classes. My teacher is funny and makes us laugh while learning, she is kind, and she rewards us for our hard work. I love my friends because they are kind to everyone, and they are respectful. I love reading, writing, art, coloring, and, most of all, my Chromebook.I like reading because I get to read out loud, which helps me get better at reading. I like writing about my friends and animals, especially my dogs. Art is good because I get to learn about different artists. Some of the artists are really really good at art, and some of them are talented. I get to color and draw with my friends sometimes during quiet time and at art. I like my drawing and coloring skills because I am talented and I practice. I like my Chromebook, most of all, because it is a great resource for helping me learn more by doing things like researching football players and practicing math. Cathedral School is out of this world because the things we learn and do are out of this world.

Cathedral School is Out of This World

Cathedral School is out of this world because we all share God’s Love!!! We grow our relationships with Jesus by praying everyday and going to Mass every Wednesday morning! Our school community Is like the solar system; everyone has a part in it. Not one of us is left out of our Cathedral Solar System. Cathedral is a great school! We also have classes like reading, math, library, writing, science, art, social studies, computers, and music. When you are a student at Cathedral school, you also have great teachers to help you every day. I love being a student at Cathedral School.
