Please take a moment to watch Ursuline Academy's version of the "Pink Glove Dance,"(Google: Ursuline Pink Glove Dance) inspired by the staff of Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Oregon. Students, faculty and staff got together to create the video as a way to show our deep commitment to the fight against breast cancer, and to remind all those women battling cancer that "after a hurricane comes a rainbow."

Thank you for all your support!
