Global Celebration Day 2013

Today was our annual Global Celebration Day at Ursuline - and what a joyful and busy day it was! Because today is also the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we began the day with Mass, including mariachi music and Matachines (traditional dancers from Mexico). It was a very festive start to a very festive day!

All students attended Mass, a presentation of the film "Girl Rising" and a fantastic performance by our friends from Spirit of Uganda.

 

Students also attended 2 sessions of choice and sessions included a wide variety of topics from African drumming to Ukrainian Easter Eggs to Skyping with Ursuline alum, Jules McGee, who is in the Peace Corps in Mozambique.





Of course, another highlight was our first-ever Christmas global market where each vendor gives a percentage of profits toward important causes like education for girls in the developing world.

There was so much going on all day and it was all joyful! A million thanks to all who came from near and far to participate in this happy day with us at Ursuline!
