Dear Ursuline,
As we look back on the month of April, so much has happened, as there is so much to be grateful for. We began this month with the celebration of Easter and with it, the hope and peace we find in our risen Lord; a time for fresh starts and renewal. From there, we were blessed to be able to safely gather our junior and senior classes together for their retreats.. We also celebrated our annual week of gratitude, “Grazie Week,” during which we acknowledge and honor all of those who support our Ursuline community financially. And now we begin the “final” moments for our class of 2021, and for this school year.
This year has proven to be challenging in many ways, and yet each day we have come together in heart as a UA community, through living out our mission.. Our mission is at the heart of everything we do; educating our students for Christian living and leadership in a global society, nurturing the development of the whole person and her potential, and cultivating within our students a spirit of lifelong service.
I find myself full of gratitude thinking of our students, who have continuously shown up, stayed positive and worked so hard, while I’ve also been so moved by all those who showed up for them and our mission this year. To all our co-workers, alumnae, family, and community members, we are so grateful for all the ways that you live out our mission and carry on the legacy of St. Angela Merici.
Loyally,
