FROM THE PRESIDENT

                                 March 2021

                                 Dear Friends,

                                 There is an infinite generosity to the human spirit and it is alive and evident at
                                 Ursuline.

                                 We see it in our remarkable faculty and staff, who have given of themselves this
                                 year under the most trying of circumstances in order to continue to engage our
                                 students in meaningful learning.

   It’s evident in our students who have reimagined and discovered new pathways in which to serve others and
   who have stepped up to care for their families and friends.

   I see it firsthand in the countless volunteers who help Ursuline thrive. In the last month alone, we’ve had
   committees at work on strategic planning, Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, and the planning of our 75th
   anniversary celebration, as well as parent volunteers helping with many student events. With their experience,
   talents, and perspectives, they have opened their hearts to Ursuline.

   In the pages to follow, you’ll find stories, too, that highlight the giving nature of those who love Ursuline. For
   those of us blessed to be educated by the Ursuline Sisters, we had role models like Sr. Martha Gleason ’54,
   O.S.U., whose concern for us extended well beyond the lessons taught and included showing us a life well-
   lived. The consummate teacher, Constance Lynch Feeley taught and inspired her own children and students to
   live a Serviam life. And Alexandra Carr Baker ’72 gives to help ensure that Ursuline graduates are equipped to
   compete in the areas of science and technology.

   To each of you who have given of yourself – time, talent, treasure, and prayer – I offer our heartfelt gratitude.
   Your unfailing generosity is as essential to Ursuline as the breath we take. May all you do for Ursuline and
   others come back to you in His blessings.

   With gratitude,

   Kate Levesque ’77
   President

    Working our way through the pandemic
    It’s no secret that the pandemic of 2020 has introduced an entire new lexicon to the English language: COVID-19,
    social distancing, flattening the curve, and masking up are terms that, while never used until recently, are now
    part of common parlance.

    In the world of education, that lexicon also includes hybrid and      our existence, in a world where six feet of space between students

virtual or drive-by graduations as a way to confer their diplomas   (remote) learning, along with most schools around the state
and honor their graduates. However, the class of 2020 wanted        and the country. As the incidence of COVID-19 abated over

Virtual Reunion for
     the 0’s and 5’s
     Members of every reunion class gathered
     remotely on September 19, 2020 for Ursuline’s
     first-ever virtual reunion. A total of seventy-five
     alumnae attended, and while the turnout was
     impressive, we all agreed that looking at a two-
     dimensional screen does not compare to an in-
     person, on-campus gathering. One silver lining
     – the remote platform allowed some attendees
     from far-away places to join in, and the virtual
     format provided an unlimited time frame - some
     of the breakout rooms went on talking for hours!

     A special shoutout goes to the Classes of 1965,
     1970, 1985, and 1995, who were the best represented at reunion. Carol Buttner Maloof ’50 also deserves
     recognition for attending on the occasion of her 70th reunion from Ursuline Academy!

     It is our sincere hope to be back at Lowder Street next September, where we can truly be together to share
     hugs, stories, and laughter.

     evaluated several solutions that would combine a Zoom call with         activities. The goal was to bring together the entire grade to bond,
     an in-class camera, and selected the Swivl camera as the solution       to have some outdoor fun, and to participate in sessions designed
     that would best allow for a “whole class” experience even though        to promote a successful start to the school year. Over the course
     half the students were participating from home. Teachers spent          of the month, each grade joined together for a class Mass, heard
     much of their summer adapting their lesson plans to the hybrid          from the consulting school psychologist on strategies for managing

challenge of living in a way that would keep COVID at bay while remaining faithful
and optimistic. Clubs and activities began to meet, primarily via Zoom. The drama and
speech teams began to practice and compete. In December, the Drama Club delivered
its first performance of the season via Zoom, a student-directed comedy called Radio
Play Disaster. While many sites at which students had planned to do service projects
closed to visitors, students became creative about identifying new areas of need where
they could apply their skills. For example, students who are musically inclined began
creating playlists for residents of memory care facilities to help them activate their
memories through music, while others helped students in Poland learn English via
Zoom.

On the athletic front, fall athletic teams continued to participate and compete, but in
a modified way depending on the sport. The cross-country, swimming and diving, and
soccer teams played a reduced schedule of inter-scholastic competition. (The soccer
team had a nearly perfect season, with only one loss out of eleven games!) The field
hockey team participated in a skills and drills program, and volleyball was moved to
a new “Fall II” season slated to start at the conclusion of the winter sports season,
conditions permitting.

The reality of life during COVID is that working through new challenges day after day
can be challenging to the human spirit, and at times exhausting. However, with each
challenge faced comes a new confidence in being able to handle the unknown, and to
think on one’s feet. Ursuline’s faculty has set a remarkable example of creativity and
resilience as they adapted their teaching practices to the reality of COVID. Hybrid
learning is the perfect example of something that does not come naturally at first,
but with time, can allow students to exercise new skills. See page 6 for one account
of students persevering through an assignment while being in different cohorts, and
learning in the process.

As we move through the second half of the year, with vaccine administration rolling out
across the country, we know that the end is in sight, but remain committed to “playing
the game all the way to the end,” in the words of Governor Baker of Massachusetts. We
are an Ursuline school. We’ve got this.

Bit by Bit: Students Learn How to
    Connect During Hybrid Learning
    By Kaitlyn DeLucia ’23,
    Communications Intern

    Being in hybrid (“concurrent”) learning mode throughout the first months of school has felt strange for
    many students at Ursuline. It has taken time to get used to seeing half of your classmates on a board,
    where they are displayed in their own homes, rather than working with them side by side in a classroom.
    Many students, including myself, have felt it has been difficult to adjust to being distant from those who
    are virtual. During the pandemic, everyone has faced challenges they have had to overcome. In school,
    I was challenged with how I would connect and work with those in a different cohort. However, we can
    solve any problem when we work together!

    In Mrs. MacKenzie’s AP Computer Science Principles class, we are learning about concepts involving
    computers, data, coding, and programming and their impact on the world around us. The challenge
    of connecting the virtual classroom and the in-person classroom was put to the test one October
    morning during class. I was at home, connected to the classroom via Zoom, on this particular day. We
    were tackling the problem of sending messages to another device using IP addresses and bits - a bit
    is the smallest unit of data in a computer and makes up everyone on the Internet. We were each given
    a partner and we had to figure out their IP address and how to send a message to their device. I was
    partnered with Amanda, who is in a different cohort than me, meaning she was in school and I was at
    home. We had to connect, even though we were physically separated, through code. At first, it was
    difficult to communicate with her because I was not sitting next to her. We tried guessing each other’s
    IP addresses but were unsuccessful. We ultimately decided it was easiest if she joined the call and
    told me her IP address that way. It was strange for her to be on Zoom from inside the classroom, but it
    allowed us to connect the two spaces. Amanda and I persevered through the separation obstacle and
    were able to communicate with each other using coding, despite being apart.

    When asked about this challenge, Amanda said, “In computer science, we learn about other ways to
    communicate with our friends without seeing them in person. We had to send a message to each other,
    using code, even though we weren’t together! It was strange working with someone at home while I was
    at school, but we were able to complete the project.” Working through a project when you are not in the
    same space as your collaborator can be difficult. The problems we faced were similar to those faced in
    workplaces today, having to connect virtually. This allowed the students to gain real-world experience.
    These challenges do not have to be a setback for students, though. Persevering through these
    problems strengthens our Ursuline community as a whole. We have to work together through these
    difficult times because it has affected everyone’s daily lives. Together we can overcome any challenges
    we face!

 ALEXANDRA CARR BAKER ’72
                                               Alexandra Carr Baker ’72 has never missed an opportunity to return to
                                               Ursuline for a reunion, or to serve in a special capacity such as a member of the
                                               Capital Campaign Committee that planned the construction of the Reynolds
                                               Center. However, she recently decided to deepen her commitment even further
                                               by increasing her financial support for technology initiatives, especially those
                                               that help students compete for STEM-related careers.

                                               Ms. Carr Baker credits Ursuline Academy with “picking me up, turning me
                                               around, and setting me back down right.” When her academic career did not
                                               reach its potential in public high school, transferring to Ursuline gave her the
                                               gift of a fresh start, and the love and acceptance of the Ursuline sisters and
                                               students brought out the best in her. She remembers the mentorship of Sr.
                                               Martha Gleason and Sr. Rita Bourassa as strong forces in her life.

                                               After Ursuline, Carr Baker studied communications at Simmons College and

                                               “I want to shout it from the rooftops that there is still a gender pay gap!

      “My goal is to help make Ursuline girls competitive with the
      future and to maximize their chances for pay equity when
      compared to their male peers. With many of the highest-paying
      jobs in STEM, that’s where I choose to give.”

                                                            Women still make less than men for equivalent work, and that
                                                            disparity follows them all the way into their retirement, since
                                                            retirement income is based on what you earned while working. I
                                                            have a chance to change that – we want our young women to be
                                                            prepared for the future, and it takes money!”

                                                            that I had available to more girls, especially those who might not

                                                            that privilege.”

IN MEMORIAM

                                         Former faculty member
                                         Sister Martha Gleason ’54,O.S.U.
                                         1937–2021
                                         Sister Martha Gleason ’54, O.S.U., a proud graduate of Ursuline Academy’s Arlington
                                         Street campus and a longtime faculty member, passed away peacefully on February 1,
                                         2021 at Andrus on Hudson, Hastings on Hudson, New York.

                                         After high school, Martha attended the College of New Rochelle, the Catholic University
                                         of America, and the Weston School of Theology. By 1961, Sr. Martha was teaching Latin
                                         at Ursuline Academy in Springfield, MA. With the exception of one year spent teaching at
                                         the Academy of Mount St. Ursula, Martha spent the next 28 years teaching in Ursuline’s
                                         Northeast Province. Her teaching took her to Dedham and Springfield, Massachusetts, to
                                         Lewiston and Sanford, Maine, and back to Dedham.

                                       During this time she served as director of Maine’s Diocesan Office for Women Religious,
                                       as Provincial of the Northeast Province, and as co-chair of the Leadership Conference
                                       of Women Religious (LCWR) in the Boston Archdiocese. On coming to the Eastern
Province in 2014, Martha worked as Co-Director of Peer Ministry for several years at The Ursuline School in New Rochelle.

 Alumnae fondly recall Sister Martha’s ability to remember the name of every student in the school. Her genuine warmth, wit, and
caring nature will be truly missed by all who knew her.

Fund for Ursuline
REACHES NEW HEIGHTS
The Fund for Ursuline, the school’s most flexible vehicle for philanthropic support, reached a new record this fiscal
year due to the generosity of so many donors. The 2019-20 fund netted $625,408, an increase of 13% over the prior
year. For this success to occur during a year that saw a pandemic and an economic downturn is a remarkable testa-
ment to the commitment of Ursuline’s supporters to the mission of educating young women in the spirit of Serviam.
Much of the annual fund’s success came during the All In for Ursuline campaign that lasted throughout the month
of June. Originally slated as a single day of giving in March, the campaign was postponed due to the rapid accelera-
tion of the coronavirus and the impact on the school community. As the spring semester progressed using a remote
learning mode, unforeseen financial needs came to the fore. Chief among these needs were tuition assistance so that
current families could continue at Ursuline, and technology to deliver a quality educational experience.
We are most grateful to everyone who supported the Fund for Ursuline during the 2020 fiscal year!

Fund for Ursuline
     2019-2020
     Gifts to the Fund for Ursuline sustain the foundation of excellence that allows Ursuline Academy to flourish.
     As the school’s second largest source of income after tuition, the Fund for Ursuline provides a core source of
     funding that supports Ursuline’s needs, enabling the Academy to offer programs and initiatives that benefit the
     entire community. It gives the administration the ability to meet opportunities for our students and faculty
     flexibly. We are deeply grateful to all of our supporters who made Ursuline a philanthropic priority between
     July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020.
