*Gmail clips - Must view entire message for Quick Links to work properly, click HERE. FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL ![]() Dear Mercy Families,
And just like that it is mid-May! How did that happen?!? The girls only have three classes left for each course and then it is time for finals and a much deserved summer break. Today the teachers met in grade levels to review the various projects, essays, and finals that your daughters will be having in the coming weeks. Please be sure to touch base with them to make sure they have a clear understanding of their final assignments and a study plan in place that will allow them to be successful in these final weeks.
Thanks, Natalie ALL SCHOOL NEWS
DEAR Community members: Thanks to all of you that helped make our most recent blood drive very successful. One of our best yet! We collected 32 Units.....saving 96 lives. This is so important during these challenging times.
The Library Summer Book clubs are in place, and most have had their first introductory meeting. Ask your daughter which book she chose and why, and please encourage her to take a bit of time to read it over the Summer break. These books are light, and fun and one or two of them are very topical. You might consider reading them yourself so you can discuss the issues they raise.

You can submit the form and payment in full online, or you can print the online form and mail a $75 deposit to Mr. Reid. The second option is to use the paper order form that was given out in the class ring meeting, and mail it to Mr. Ried with the $75 deposit. Payment plans are available.

Mr. Dougherty will be in Grassilli from 1-3pm this Friday May 15. Please contact him if you would like to return your uniform or gear at that time. Important reminder: If you do not return prior to the end of the school year, a replacement fee will be sent to the families that have not made contact with Mr. Dougherty. Expectations with the return: All uniforms have to be thoroughly washed and cleaned. The uniforms should be sprayed with Lysol and placed in a clear plastic bag. Please write athlete's name on the outside of the bag being returned.
Spring Sports Individual and Team photos Mercy has learned that as of mid-march, Lifetouch Photography furloughed their lab technicians due to COVID19. They are forecasting a significant delay in printing spring sports individual and team photos for their schools. In the meantime, they have agreed to provide a digital copy of the team sports. We have made them available for you to download here. If you have purchased individual or team photos, you will still receive the professional, high-quality prints in the mail to your home. When Lifetouch provides a better understanding of print timetables, we will communicate that with you.
Purchase Team Photos If you would like to purchase printed photos taken by Lifetouch please use this link to access pictures. events.lifetouch.com/mercyburlingamehighschool
