The Academy of Mount St. Ursula hosted a reunion for over 170 alumnae from the classes ending in the 3s and 8s on Saturday, April 26.
The Class of 1973 celebrated its 35th anniversary by raising $6,000 in honor of deceased classmates Regina Lambeau, Kathy O’Shea, Marian Collier, and Mary Smith. The funds went toward the installation of a new bench at the school and the establishment of a scholarship fund in the class name.
The school also presented Dr. Regina Peruggi ’68 and Noreen Culhane ’63 with the Serviam Award for their continued commitment to serving others in need. Peruggi is president of Kingsborough Community College in Brooklyn, and Culhane is an executive at the New York Stock Exchange.

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
