WEEKLY FEATURE As we wrap up the Student Fundraiser this week with Dance-A-Thon on Friday, we would like to thank our Mercy Parents and community for the support and participation in this long-honored tradition. We are very proud of all of our students who took this fundraiser as an opportunity to practice networking and entrepreneurship skills, and share their Mercy stories and experiences with friends and family. A great example of initiative, Lauren O'Connor '22 served as an ambassador for Mercy and reached out personally to as many people as she could in her networks, in order to encourage support for our programs. She is one of our highest fundraisers, and is even writing personalized thank you cards to each donor. We commend you, Lauren! ![]() ALL SCHOOL NEWS ![]() Dance-A-Thon 2018-2019 MIDNIGHT TONIGHT, January 16th marks the end of our student fundraiser!
