Letter from the Principal |

Dear SUA Families,
As we finish Term 1, we will be celebrating Spirit Week with a picnic, activities, and pep rally on Friday afternoon, and the Breast Cancer Bowl on Sunday evening. Join us at St. John's Jesuit Lyden Field at 7:00 p.m. as students and families from St. Ursula, Notre Dame, St. John's Jesuit, and St. Francis de Sale come together for our ninth annual Breast Cancer Bowl; a tradition started by St. Ursula Academy's Student Council in 2016 to support the Victory Center.
The girls are busy preparing for upcoming Term 1 exams. Teachers are available to help during Seminar and extra help is available in The Learning Commons (TLC) before school, after school, and during Seminar. Please encourage your daughter to ask for help, if needed.
We are looking forward to a break after exams with our Fall Break, October 16-18.
Term 2 begins on Monday, October 21.
We continue to pray for those affected by the hurricanes. Our Term 1 exam dress down donations will be directly donated to Hurricane Relief for the Red Cross to provide shelter, food, and comfort to families impacted by the hurricanes.
Soli Deo Gloria!
