Ursuline Academy’s first and second graders marked the Jan. 27 feast day of their foundress, St. Angela Merici, by presenting an uplifting repertoire of songs to assisted living residents at Chateau de Notre Dame in New Orleans. 

The pitch-perfect concert, performed by students in the chapel and accompanied by the youngsters’ guitar-playing music teacher, had the residents singing along to “Let There Be Peace on Earth,” “This Little Light of Mine” and “When the Saints Go Marching In.” The young performers also sang and signed (courtesy of their classes in American Sign Language) an original piece written by an Ursuline student entitled “Insieme” – Italian for “Together.”
