Mary Jane Kann Reddington shared, I am very happy and honored to open the “Building on the Tradition of Innovation” $8.5 million campaign.
I entered the 9th grade in September 1937. The original school building opened on 1354 North Avenue for grades K to 12 in 1929 — architecturally, a beautiful structure.
I remember the beautiful apple orchard outback. The auditorium/gymnasium was a large space where dumbbells lined the room. Mother Rose conducted our assemblies with students standing for them — there were no chairs! Only those who weren’t feeling well or faint could escape.
Much has changed. More important, let us look at all that has not changed at Ursuline since I first entered its portals back in 1937. Our school continues to be a faith-centered, values based community. Ursuline has always made young girls into women for all seasons. Students are provided with a solid education that will enable them to become globally competitive at college and beyond. In addition, alumnae still practice Serviam that was introduced to us as students.
When this campaign was brought to my attention, I was convinced right then and there why Ursuline is such an important investment for both today’s and tomorrow’s students.
My heartfelt thanks for any part you may play in this campaign. With your important assistance, you will continue to make Ursuline graduates tomorrow’s leaders. Because the heart of a donor is not measured in size but, in the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.
Warmly,
Mary Jane Kann Reddington ’41, P’72
