A Moment for Mission

Put your whole soul into the enterprise you have undertaken–Rejoice!

St. Angela Merici-9th Counsel

Hello!

With a few days of nice weather, it really feels like we are in the spring push to the end of the year, doesn’t it? The Seniors are preparing for their Capstone presentations, which take place on Monday. It’s stressful but also a great opportunity for them to reflect on all they’ve accomplished in their time at Ursuline.

A big thanks to our Counselors for the activities they planned for Wellness Week. Opportunities included a Mindfulness Walk, Take Care of Yourself Tuesday and Polaroids with Patti. While maintaining positive mental health is always a focus, having a week dedicated to it sends the message that it must be a priority. 

Dads - please keep an eye out for an email from the Father’s Club. They’re looking for a “few good men'' (my words, not theirs!) to step into leadership roles. We are so grateful to Tim Quigley, Anthony Hoy and Miles Williams - they’ve set the bar very high! - but they have all served for 3-7 years and they’re ready to step into “advisory” mode. Bear Moms and Fathers Club supports Ursuline in a major way and even more importantly, creates special memories to share with your daughters. 

Whether you’ll be on the road or enjoying the sights of St. Louis I hope you have a wonderful and safe Spring Break in the upcoming weeks!

Baret Scholars Program is a year of curated global education designed for students seeking an eye-opening and enriching experience between high school and university. Selective, safe and structured — this program gives students a chance to breathe, gain fresh perspectives, and cultivate a new global community of peers and mentors, all while immersing themselves in seven significant regions of the world.

Baret Scholars and ISSL welcome students, families, and educators to join this exclusive webinar as we unravel the incredible potential of taking a purposeful global gap year before college. Beyond traditional education, Baret Scholars offers a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in diverse cultures, cultivate a sense of purpose, and gain insights that extend far beyond the classroom.
