A Moment for Mission

Give good example —- teaching more by what you do than what you say.

St. Angela Merici-5th Counsel

A Note from the President

COMING SOON! Hopefully you’ve checked out the Parent Hub on the website. It’s designed to be your source of school information and will be regularly updated. And soon, it will be the place to connect to the many ways you can volunteer at Ursuline. In the meantime, you can get involved with the Bear Moms and Fathers Club today through their links on the Parent Hub. They’ve done a great job getting things organized and have sign-ups in place - a big THANK YOU to them! I look forward to seeing you all at the many fun events that have been planned.


We’re pretty much into the routine again … see you at Back to School Night!
