Ursuline Academy Community Newsletter | December 2025


Dear Ursuline Community,


As I continue into my fifth year working at Ursuline, I am continually amazed by all the wonderful things unfolding here. It has been especially meaningful to watch the traditions I loved as a student not only continue, but grow stronger with each passing year.


One of my favorite parts of this role is experiencing Ursuline from behind the camera—capturing not only the smiling faces and incredible work of our students, but also the joy and fun found in everyday life at Ursuline. This semester has been filled with moments worth celebrating, from the excitement of Giving Tuesday, when our community came together to raise over $70,000 for the Ursuline Fund, to the reverent beauty of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, as students carried Christmas bags to the altar in the true spirit of Serviam.


As we wrap up the semester, we are already looking ahead with excitement as we prepare to welcome the Class of 2030 in January—another reminder that the Ursuline story continues to grow.


I am a proud Bear who loves sharing all that makes Ursuline so special, and I cannot wait to see what the next semester brings. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful Christmas, a restful break, and a happy, healthy New Year. Go Bears!

All proceeds go to The Ursuline Fund, which supports the highest needs of Ursuline Academy and helps offset the cost of educating an Ursuline student. 


NEW THIS YEAR: For anyone who would like to sell over the holiday season and be finished, student individual raffle links will be emailed out on December 22, as well as January 5, when the raffle campaign officially begins.



Please help our Bears reach their goal of “10 tickets per student” by purchasing a Plaid Payoff ticket!
