On Sunday, May 5, the Ursuline community gathered to celebrate the Class of 2013 and their parents at the Senior Parent Brunch.
This wonderful Ursuline tradition is hosted each year by the junior class and their parents. The Senior Parent Brunch offers an opportunity for the graduating seniors to thank their parents for their love and support. Each senior parent is presented an orchid by their daughter, and the seniors receive Ursuline keychains that mark the first step in their transition into alumnae of the Academy.
Mary Beth Hunt McMahon '82 returned to campus to give the keynote address at the brunch. Mary Beth is the President and CEO of Special Olympics Massachusetts and truly lives the Ursuline motto of Serviam each day. Watch Mary Beth's remarks from the brunch:
The Senior Parent Brunch is also a celebration of the generous donations to the Senior Parent Gift.This year the parents of the Class of 2013 surpassed their fundraising goal of $35,000 with 82% participation! They raised $35,400 to refurbish the lobby of the school. Many thanks to the co-chairs of the Senior Parent Gift, Peter & Deborah Canning P '13 and Martin & Susana Fantozzi P '13 '17, for all their hard work.
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this special day possible!
