A Tradition of Innovation
The Ursuline tradition stretches across three centuries ever defying the conventions of its times As that innovative spirit spills into a new millennium Ursuline boldly embraces a new vision for education of the ldquowhole personrdquo Beginning their journey to the colonies in 1727 the Ursulines were the fi rst to see the value in educating women Not only did the Ursulines teach the children of European immigrants they were also the fi rst to educate African-American slaves free women of color and Native Americans The Ursulines boast the fi rst female pharmacist fi rst woman to contribute a book of literary merit and the fi rst Catholic school gymnasium in the city of New Orleans
It is the tradition of innovation that sustains Ursuline Academyrsquos position as a leader in educational advancement
FITNESS AND WELLNESS CENTER mind + body + spiritWith exemplary academic fi ne arts religious formation service and athletic programs in place it may appear that the Ursulines have fulfi lled their commitment to the development of the whole person But as history has shown the Ursulines are rarely satisfi ed with the status quo An Ursuline education anticipates the future striving both to advance current programs and to inspire the development of new ones The Ursuline Academy Fitness and Wellness Center will be the epicenter of complete health ndash not only physical aspects of wellness but the mental and spiritual dimensions as well
MIND
On-site classes will address proper nutrition stress management coping techniques and eating disorders Related topics such as the limits of the earthrsquos natural resources and good choices toward a more successful existence will equip students with the knowledge needed to achieve a state of mental and physical well-being
With the mind body and spirit so interconnected knowledge is the fi rst step to fi nding
balance and ultimately wellness

SPIRITAn Ursuline education encourages respect for the uniqueness of the individual development of a nurturing community spirit and a commitment to peacemaking It is with these core values in mind that the dimension of spiritual wellness will be developed and enriched The new facility will allow students to explore yoga various forms of meditation processes of discernment and much more The goal of spiritual wellness is to create habits of behavior where our actions become more consistent with our beliefs and values
Keeping the Legacy Alive Part II Letrsquos call it the Katrina Marathon and the fi nish line is so close it is palpable to all the senses hellip the sight of construction trucks on Claiborne the smell of dirt being turned and moved about the foundation of the 1935 gymnasium the steady sound of pilings being driven into the earth the feel of a hard hat as we venture into the construction site and fi nally the imagined taste of hot popcorn in the bleachers as we think about that fi rst game on a spring afternoon on our new softball fi eld at the corner of State Street and Claiborne Avenue We invite you to accompany us at the end of this race More specifi cally we need you to support us over this last hurdle
Keeping the Legacy Alive Part I saved and restored our campus after Katrina it provided resources to secure excellence in teaching and established one of the most innovative early childhood learning centers in the country But the monumental task of restoration has one last facet the old State Street gym which will be a weaving together of blessed memories and the newest thinking in womenrsquos holistic health
In 1935 at the dedication of the building Dottie McCloskey (Sister Marie) fl oated across the new stage as she danced to the tune of ldquoThe Blue Danuberdquo Bootsie Rivet (Sister Teresita) gave one of her famous speeches and Edna Prenger (Sister Mary Margaret) proudly represented her classmates as Freshman Class President A decade later PE teachers Clayre Ahern and Pat Taylor took a vision of their principal Mother Marie McCloskey and made it a reality by creating another Ursuline fi rst Rally Night

Keeping the Legacy Alive Part II Letrsquos call it the Katrina Marathon and the fi nish line is so close it is palpable to all the senses hellip the sight of construction trucks on Claiborne the smell of dirt being turned and moved about the foundation of the 1935 gymnasium the steady sound of pilings being driven into the earth the feel of a hard hat as we venture into the construction site and fi nally the imagined taste of hot popcorn in the bleachers as we think about that fi rst game on a spring afternoon on our new softball fi eld at the corner of State Street and Claiborne Avenue We invite you to accompany us at the end of this race More specifi cally we need you to support us over this last hurdle
Keeping the Legacy Alive Part I saved and restored our campus after Katrina it provided resources to secure excellence in teaching and established one of the most innovative early childhood learning centers in the country But the monumental task of restoration has one last facet the old State Street gym which will be a weaving together of blessed memories and the newest thinking in womenrsquos holistic health
In 1935 at the dedication of the building Dottie McCloskey (Sister Marie) fl oated across the new stage as she danced to the tune of ldquoThe Blue Danuberdquo Bootsie Rivet (Sister Teresita) gave one of her famous speeches and Edna Prenger (Sister Mary Margaret) proudly represented her classmates as Freshman Class President A decade later PE teachers Clayre Ahern and Pat Taylor took a vision of their principal Mother Marie McCloskey and made it a reality by creating another Ursuline fi rst Rally Night
CAMPAIGN FOR WELLNESS
Today the State Street gym will be reinvented while the bones and the heritage remain intact Central air and heat a practice gym to accommodate the needs of elementary and high school teams and an indoor running track circling and overlooking the gym fl oor are just the beginning There are three more elements that elevate this project from ordinary to revolutionary
1 A state-of-the-art fi tness and wellness addition will feature a classroom coachesrsquo offi ces an athletic conference room a multi-purpose room for dance and yoga a large weight room a cardio room and a training room
2 A new signature courtyard will enhance this activity center at the north end of the campus where girls can do homework or just visit The courtyard with its series of covered walkways will also connect the two gyms to the Early Childhood Learning Center eff ectively cloistering the Ursuline community for periods of the day
3 A regulation softball fi eld on the State StreetClaiborne Avenue corner will give our girls that special ldquohome fi eld advantagerdquo for the spring season games
Make no mistake about it This fi nal step marks more than the sum of its parts In addition to the obvious benefi ts to fi tness and health the new complex will facilitate programs that foster the comprehensive well-being of our girls as they prepare for their future journey in life after Ursuline a journey replete with complexities confusion joy fear change and yes service
