It's the Holiday Season
Our hallways continue to be decorated for Christmas. The Sophomores have chosen “A Charlie Brown Christmas” as their theme and I am really impressed with the work they put into their design.
You will have to sign up for our new @MercyMiddletown
Twitter account to hear who the winner of the hallway contest is! The Mercy Twitter account is new in the past
two weeks and we are very excited about being able to keep students, parents
and alumnae up to date on what is happening here. You can just click here: https://twitter.com/MercyMiddletown

On Wednesday, December 12 we had our annual Winter
Concert. I want to congratulate Mr. Link and the members of the Concert and Chamber Choirs, Choralations, Wind Ensemble and "No Man's Band" on presenting such an entertaining and enjoyable evening. The auditorium was packed with parents and friends and we certainly were put into the holiday spirit! Don't they all look great!
Our Mock Trial Team has begun to compete at the Middlesex
Superior Courthouse. The first week they
went in as the defense against Xavier High School. They all were looking very “lawyerly” as they
prepared to leave school last week! Today, (December 14) they will argue for the prosecution. Good Luck!

I know that we can hardly believe it but the Christmas
Break begins next week with our last day of school being Wednesday, December
19. I’m told that it is quite a day of
celebration so no one wants to miss it!
We will return to school on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013.

When students return it will not be very long
before they will begin to prepare for Midterm Exams. The second quarter will end on January 11th
with Midterm Exam week being January 14 – 18.
Stay tuned for more specific information in later blogs!
