Dear SUA Families,
On March 16, 15 students and two chaperones from St. Ursula High School in Hachinohe, Japan, will arrive in Toledo for a two-week visit to SUA. Sr. Kathleen Padden, former SUA President and Principal, started this program after serving as a faculty member at St. Ursula Hachinohe in l990. The students from Hachinohe traditionally come every other year, but this is the first time they have visited since COVID-19 made global travel more challenging. Liz Huebner has facilitated this program since 2012 and is excited to provide this worthwhile experience to our SUA community. Our visitors will depart on Friday, March 29.
SUA families have graciously offered to host the students and chaperones. Throughout the two weeks, the Japanese students will attend class with their host sister(s), and they will participate in the Junior Retreat, attend English as a Second Language (ESL) classes daily (taught by one of our parents who lived in Japan), attend a Holocaust Program at the Valentine Theatre, and meet with the mayor of Toledo to give him the key to their city.
We are excited to welcome the students and chaperones from our sister school in Japan. The two weeks will pass quickly, and tears and hugs will for sure happen on the last day!

Women's History Month Art Sale
"Women in Digital Arts" is a class that empowers girls in graphic design and fine art to express their creativity. As a celebration of Women's History Month, Digital Arts students created typography portraits of notable women, both living and deceased, who are legendary figures and have inspired the lives of the students who created the portraits.
Purchasing these prints will support St. Ursula Academy's Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC). The DAC is composed of students, faculty, and staff who create effective actions and solutions to support anti-racism efforts at SUA.
The prints are sized at 11"x14" and cost $12 each.
The sale is open through Wednesday, March 27.
Prints will be shipped the week of April 8.
SUA, the DAC, and our Arrow artists appreciate your support!
