In Gratitude for our Catholic Educators As part of Catholic Schools Week, Ursuline made some surprise stops at local Catholic grade schools to gift Ursuline alumnae who are working in education with some UA swag. Mugs just perfect for some hot chocolate aimed to warm the hearts of our alumnae educators, especially after working through the COVID-19 pandemic. Catholic Schools Week has traditionally been held during the last week in January. In total, Ursuline delivered 60+ mugs to alumnae in the St. Louis area. Top photo is Holy Cross Academy Preschool UA teachers: Lisa Duggan ’83, Alexis Valentine ’13, Kate McDonough ’18, Erin Hadican Grate ’00 and Ann Ottenlips Hillmeyer ’85.

Alive Through the Sound of Music. As part of the memorial service for Mr. Neal Frederiksen, a number of alumnae spanning many Ursuline choral performances gathered together to rehearse and sing the musical parts of Mr. Fred’s service, conducted by Mr. Jay Harkey and Mrs. Margaret Mager - a past UA parent who accompanied Mr. Fred during concerts for about 10 years in the 2000s. It was truly a special moment to witness them coming together and blending so beautifully in song. The alumnae choir was made up of: Katie McCoy Boyer ’10, Ashley Krone ’09, Kristen Halm ’00, Danielle Wohlstadter ’15, Kathleen McGovern Govero ’01, Amanda Winslow ’05, Anna Agniel Bushlack ’99, Courtney Lydic ’01, Brittany Moleski ’14, Jennifer Fessler McClure ’99, Anne Marie Kramer Flanagan ’01, Kelly Paige ’09 and Nadia Kulisek ’13.
