Blanket Drive In her very first year as an Ursuline girl, Junior Morgan Bennett truly embraced the Academy’s motto of Serviam. Bringing a blanket drive to Ursuline - her spirit of serving others was contagious! “Service has always been instilled in me,” she said. “Seeing people having less than I do, I just want to help them. That’s what we need to do – help each other and lift everyone up.” Due to social distancing mandates, this year’s high school service hour requirement proved to be a little more difficult for students. Keeping this in mind, Morgan proposed a blanket drive that would allow students to easily and safely give back to others. Students gathered on campus during the Mardi Gras break and made over 300 blankets. Morgan’s service was not only recognized at school, but citywide as she received a proclamation from the New Orleans City Council. Despite a difficult, rather challenging year, service remained in the hearts of the members of our Ursuline community - living out St. Angela’s vision of servinig others more than we need to be served.
