Class DinnersThe Home and School Association sponsors a pot luck dinner for each of the four classes. Students attend with their families and the evening includes presentations from the administration or students. Student One-ActsThe Ursuline Theater Department sponsors an evening of student directed, and often written, one-act plays. Students submit scripts to the Theater Director, who selects five to six for production. The student directors cast actors, build simple sets, and hold rehearsals. Sadie Hawkins Dance
The first date dance of the year has traditionally been a girl ask guy dance, although in recent times many student come stag with a large group of their friends. Couples usually dress alike. The dance is held in the UHS Cafeteria and is open to all Ursuline students. Mooney Week Our annual spirit week is one of the most anticipated weeks at Ursuline. Students spend weeks preparing. The week includes an area of the school decorated by each class, decorated classroom doors, class competitions, a huge rally, and a super tailgate party. Of course, the week concludes with the much anticipated football game with Ursuline’s friendly rival, Cardinal Mooney. Varsity DanceThis semiformal dance is Ursuline’s version of a homecoming dance. The dance is guy ask girl, but many people attend stag. The dance is held outside of school and all grades may attend. Christmas Match-UpOn the last day before Christmas Break begins, each student receives a green or red card with a number. The student must find their match who has the same number on the opposite color card. Student pairs who find their match are placed in a raffle drum for a chance to win several prizes at the end of the day. Sophomore WeekIn celebration of our sophomore class, Ursuline sponsors Sophomore Week. The week includes Twin Day, where randomly matched pairs of students dress alike. The week also includes Cosmic Bowling, Teacher Appreciation, a field trip to the Butler and Arms Museums, and a morning reading activity with their third grade pen pals. Wake-a-ThonThe Wake-a-Thon began over 15 years ago as a way to raise awareness of the poor and homeless in our community. Students stay up all night to earn money from sponsors. The night includes mass, the Wake-a-Thon dance, games, a talent show, and the Class Clash. The Wake-a-Thon is currently on a hiatus as the student council proposes ways to revitalize the current model. Fine Arts AssemblyThe Fine and Performing Arts are celebrated throughout the year at Ursuline, but especially during our Fine Arts Assembly. Members of the band, choir, and speech and debate team perform for the student body, staff, and parents. The Ursuline Art Show, displaying the work of Ursuline’s art students, is also held during the week of the assembly in the cafeteria. Prom The Junior-Senior Prom is a formal dance held off-campus. The evening is planned by the junior class and includes the traditional walk-in event, dinner, dancing, and the crowning of the prom king and queen. |
