A Moment for Mission

and are ready to have a great year!

A Note from the President |
|
No, wait, summer can’t be over yet!!! I hope you had a good one, filled with relaxation and fun.
We’ve been hard at work here and we’re ready to get the 2022/23 school year off to a great start. We are welcoming 100 freshmen, 4 transfer students (two in the class of 2023 and two in the class of 2025), and five new coworkers! The Esports room is ready to go, new smart boards have been placed in all classrooms, the back patio is nearly complete, and all lockers have been painted!
Once we get all settled in, I’ll have a lot to share about our strategic plan (effective July 1), 175th anniversary celebration, and the Parent Speaker Series. In the meantime, I hope to see you at Moms & Margaritas and the Fathers’ Club Kickoff BBQ (details below). For those new to Ursuline, you are already a member of these groups - just come to enjoy yourself and connect with fellow Bear parents!
More to come,
Peggy Slater
