Lisa, Parent
Mrs. Ataei's passion for music and learning that she instilled in Jan-Harold and her classmates will be missed. It is a gift to have had her as our daughter's teacher. Her contributions to the Ursuline family's arts program along with her kindness and beautiful spirit lift up our community.
Jeanette, Parent
"My daughter, Aubrey, always speaks so highly of Mrs. Ataei. We can see how much she loves her work and her students. We're grateful for her years at Ursuline and the outstanding Spring plays over the years."
Shannon, Colleague
"I want to tell you how beautiful the mass was yesterday. The music truly touched my soul, and I truly believe it had the same effect on the students and faculty. Please know all the hard work you put into collaborating with the orchestra, choir, and handbells is worth it."
Sue, K-12 Principal at Ursuline Academy of New Orleans
"Lauren has embraced our school’s mission by showing deep respect for each and every student, serving others, and promoting peace while gently expecting academic excellence. Lauren sees each student. She knows them by name and draws out their gifts. Her classroom management is firm and clear. She is an outstanding role model for students ranging from five to eighteen! Her students know that she loves them and wants the best for them."
Judy, Former Principal at St. Joseph Catholic School
"Her ability to connect with her students and her talent at teaching music are both truly superior."
Maria, Colleague
"I do not have the appropriate words to express how phenomenal the music was at mass this morning. I was deeply moved with heart-felt emotions watching and listening to our students play and sing. "
Paul, Parent
"Mrs. Ataei has been such a tremendous asset to our school over the years and such an inspiration and support to my daughters. She has kept Lucy’s love of theater and music alive!"
Davindra, Parent
"We will forever miss Mrs. Ataei in our household. Zoe has come out of her shell thanks to her and the work she did to encourage her in using her voice."
Edward, Parent
"Mrs. Ataei's teaching and personality had a very empowering effect on Taylor. When she made the "Matilda" cast it developed a new confidence and work ethic in her. I thank God for the investment she made in our daughter during her tenure at Ursuline."
