A Moment for Mission

May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus… Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Rom. 15: 5-6

Hello!

We’ve moved on from Thanksgiving to Christmas but I continue to have a lot to be grateful for! Our students made a very impressive showing for Giving Tuesday. Led by the Project USS crew, several sister and cousin duos shared their musical talents and 230 students participated as donors. Thanks also to the Pieri family for the dine-out at Liliana’s this week to generate support for the auction. Giving at all levels, in so many ways, by everyone in our community assures a strong Ursuline today and tomorrow - thanks to all!

The halls at UA are definitely decked!!!!  A HUGE thank-you to the Bear Moms/Elves who made it all happen. It makes such a huge difference to have some festivity alongside the stresses that come with the end of the semester.



A few weeks I got to do one of my favorite things… .sitting in on Dr. Cochran’s classes when students present their declarations for improving the school environment. The Bearista Cafe and the return of the Senior Lounge began with declarations of years past. Everyone made strong arguments on a variety of topics including uniforms, presenting morning announcements via video on GROWL TV (which would be new), late starts and having a UA therapy dog. This time with our students always leaves me with a lot to think about! Stay tuned for updates.

Enjoy your weekend!
