NEVER SAY GOODBYE PICNIC
Seniors gathered on the Ursuline green following their graduation practice for the annual Never Say Good-bye Picnic. Ursuline President Cathie Field Lloyd '70 and Alumnae Association President Catherine Kempista '01 welcomed the graduates and presented Ursuline laundry bags as a good-bye gift. However, we know they will never say good-bye as they are now welcomed to our Alumnae Association. Thanks for a great time, seniors; we are "grad" you came!

St. Angela, watch over all our days.

Powered by ALL GIRLS
July 11 - July 22, 2016
Join us for the S.T.E.A.M Summer Scholars Academy for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls.

She will foster her creativity while developing an appreciation of the arts through drama and painting.
In addition to the sciences and artistic pursuits, she will practice leadership and presentation skills throughout the camp while working with peers on various projects.

COUNSELING CENTER
PSAT 8/9 Results
The freshmen class met to create their online College Board accounts and retrieve their PSAT 8/9 score report. Each girl who took the exam reviewed how they performed on the standardized test in each area (reading/writing language and math.) In addition to the numerical results, they were able to see how the performed against other 9th graders in the nation as well as specific skill areas they need to strengthen. It was also stressed that they now have the opportunity to take advantage of the free test prep service from Khan Academy. The girls can link to Khan Academy through their College Board account and receive customized test preparation based on their PSAT 8/9 scores. In a recent meeting with the Duke University admission representative, she highly recommended using Khan Academy for standardized test preparation because of the positive results she has seen recently. If you have questions about the PSAT 8/9 results, please feel free to contact Erin Barillare at ebarillare@ursuline.org.
