A Moment for Mission

St. Angela Merici-Last Legacy

A Note from the President

Welcome back! Everyone has returned from Spring Break refreshed and ready for the sprint to the end of the year. We’ve had students busy around the world and right here at home! 


Those on the Ursuline immersion trip to France learned first-hand the flexibility needed during international travel, but then made it to Paris to meet their host families, enjoy the sights, and share a bit of Ursuline St. Louis with students of our sister school there. 


Back at home, the Robotics team has been busy preparing for its next competition, building on a 6th place finish (out of 48) at the regional in Oklahoma as the only all-girls team in the competition! That’s how Ursuline does it! Their next competition is here at home, at Chaifetz Arena March 26-28. We’ll be tracking their performance at https://www.thebluealliance.com/team/6391 but it’s even better live and in person! Let’s rally for the team at this free event - wear your red and let Bearbotics #6391 know we’re with them all the way!  


Amidst all of the activity and excitement that comes with Spring, we remember that it is also the season of Lent. I’m praying that we all experience a sense of renewal during this important time.


All my best,

Peggy Slater
