From the President<br />
Dear <strong>Ursuline</strong> Families,<br />
School life is busy and exciting. For those of us who assist in providing a Catholic college prep<br />
program it is most rewarding. We are fortunate in that we are given the opportunity to share in the lives<br />
of the students and families we serve. It is a daily joy to be on campus. The young women of <strong>Ursuline</strong> are<br />
impressive, and their enthusiasm is catching. I hope that you take the opportunity to join us this coming<br />
year for some of our many events ranging from liturgy to productions, concerts, sporting events, and Buona<br />
Festa. I would also like to remind you that we hold Memorial Masses three times a year for deceased loved<br />
ones. Please contact us so that we can send you an invitation to the Mass and include the name of your<br />
relative in our prayers.<br />
The entire community this past year has focused on “Paying It Forward.” Many alumnae and<br />
parents embraced the theme. With our motto “Serviam” the <strong>Academy</strong> has a rich tradition of “Paying It Forward.” Alumnae hold a wide<br />
variety of service positions either full-time or as volunteers. Current students advocate for those in need by attitude and with action.<br />
Our Mothers’ Club organizes monthly projects, and the DUDs (Dads of <strong>Ursuline</strong> Daughters) and Alumnae Association in various ways<br />
follow suit.<br />
<strong>Ursuline</strong> is a blessing. Without question our graduates are academically prepared for college. One hundred percent of our<br />
graduates go on to college. Many receive scholarships. This past year the <strong>Academy</strong> awarded diplomas to a higher number of young<br />
women than any of the other area all-girls schools.<br />
Most importantly our graduates are strong women of faith who know and understand what it means to lead and serve others.<br />
A statement of St. Angela that we frequently hear is, “You have more need to serve others than they have to be served.”<br />
The <strong>Ursuline</strong> Tradition is carried out into the world through our graduates, their families and all with whom they come in<br />
contact. A favorite song that we sing at our liturgies is “Go Light Your World.” Christ’s light is carried to others through our hands.<br />
You will see the names of all the graduates of 2007 listed in this report. The Class of 2007 made contributions to help offset the cost<br />
of tuition for a junior so that she could continue her senior year under less financial stress.<br />
As you consider your financial giving plan this coming year, we ask that you embrace the vision of <strong>Ursuline</strong> <strong>Academy</strong>. We<br />
need your help in retiring the debt on the Convocation and Athletic Center. We are in the initial stages of educational programming<br />
for the Performing Arts Center. We ask for your help as we are eager to see our students benefit.<br />
Our current challenge is to provide for our young women the type of facilities that so many boys’ schools enjoy. Unlike the<br />
backing that area boys’ schools receive, <strong>Ursuline</strong> has yet to acquire a $1 million or $500,000 donor/benefactor. While these very large<br />
donations help to jump start a funding drive, any and all donation amounts are important and valued, and bring possibility to reality.<br />
This is our third fall in the Convocation and Athletic Center, a dream that became a reality. Thank you for all you do for<br />
the <strong>Academy</strong> and for being a part of our <strong>Ursuline</strong> Family.<br />
Embrace the vision,<br />
Dr. Tina Reichardt<br />
President<br />
