Dear Ursuline,
My name is Elizabeth Wunderlich and I am currently a Junior at Ursuline Academy. This year the hallways of Ursuline are decorated with our 2021-2022 school year theme, “Share Your Light.” I see the theme interpreted in many unique ways, for example, the words of encouragement written on light bulb post-it notes hanging in our hallways. Through my education at Ursuline, I have learned to not only recognize the gifts and talents God has given to me, but I have been encouraged to develop them, explore them, and bring them to my greater UA community.
My teachers share their light in the classroom, by creating an environment where my classmates and I can each best excel. They work with my individual abilities and learning style, and really get to know me as a student and celebrate my accomplishments both inside and outside of the classroom. By sharing their lights with us, we are all able to shine brighter too!
My Catholic education is incredibly important to me, and it is something that my family strongly supports. We have made sacrifices so that I may attend Ursuline, but all the sacrifices do not compare to the gifts that I have been given by the Ursuline community. Ursuline has taught me so much about my faith, and has truly opened my mind to a world outside my comfort zone. When you support Ursuline Academy, you make it possible for students like me to carry my candle beyond our doors and share my light with the world.
As we are approaching the holiday season, we hope you will remember Ursuline in your giving. Whether it be through a donation on Giving Tuesday, or of your time through service such as our Packaton, know that your gifts contribute to the bright future of students like me. I’m sincerely grateful for all the ways you continue to support students like me.
God's blessings on you,
Elizabeth Wunderlich ’23
