Sunshine Sister Award

Live in harmony, united together, all of one heart and one will.St. Angela Merici

The Sunshine Sister Award, established in 2023, is chosen by her classmates to continue to foster a relationship with the Academy and her class from graduation and beyond. This person promises to remain connected to both her classmates and the Academy and share important news and updates with both. The Sunshine Sister is a True Blue Ursuline girl with school and class spirit! She is eager to serve as the contact person and help the Academy’s newest alumnae stay connected to their Alma Mater.

The “Sunshine Sister” is a living example of Gabrielle Cozzano’s quote of St. Angela Merici. As her secretary and one of the closest people to her, Cozzano stated: “She was like a sun that gave light to all the others…a fire and a furnace of love which enflamed them.”

The 2026 recipient of the Sunshine Sister Award is Gracee Rae Pressley.
