Grandparents Day at UA!


It was a full house at Ursuline Academy's Grandparents Day on April 11! Over 215 grandparents joined us for the celebration, the most ever in attendance in the history of this event.

The day began with a special liturgy prepared by the 7th graders. Each student played a role in the mass, from acting out the First Reading to serving as lectors and gift bearers. The Liturgical Dance group performed to "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban during the Communion meditation, and dedicated their moving performance to the grandparents. Following Mass, the grandparents went to lunch in the Tea Room and attended a class with their granddaughter (or granddaughters!).

Grandparents Day is a much-loved tradition here at Ursuline Academy, and a wonderful opportunity for our students to share their UA experience with some of the most important people in their lives. Thank you to all the grandparents for visiting with us for the day!  And a huge thank you to the wonderful volunteers and the faculty and staff at UA for all that they do to make this day possible.  We couldn't do it without your help!
