What a Game!
We are still celebrating here at Mercy the incredible win
of our State Championship Basketball team which occurred on Saturday
evening! If you haven’t yet seen the
winning play, just take a look: YouTube Footage of Game
On Monday the team was greeted by enthusiastic classmates
as they returned with a police escort from the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce
Breakfast. You can see pictures at the
Middletown Press website:

What is wonderful is that we have many things to
celebrate here at Mercy like the many events that follow!
Wadsworth Mansion
The Wadsworth Mansion property which adjoins ours is
quite beautiful. We had a number of our
Mercy students volunteer there on Sunday, March 3rd at their Friends
of Long Hill Tea. It was a beautiful day
and event.
Tech Tigers Win Gracious Professionalism Award!
From Tea to Technology….Our winning TechTigers are now
home after braving the weather and competing at Worcester Polytechnic Institute
(WPI) for the FIRST Competition. We were
able to watch them compete online as teams made their robots throw Frisbees
through targets and actually climb a pyramid structure! When it was all done our team won one of the
more prestigious awards of the weekend, the Gracious Professionalism
Award. This award highlights how a team
presents itself and was helpful to others.
Congratulations Ladies and Thank you to the adult mentors who make it
all possible!
Grease is the
Word!
The same weekend that the TechTigers were in Worcester we were also performing the musical “Grease”!
What a great job done by cast, crew, musicians and
directors! I had been told that the
Mercy/Xavier musical is always a treat to look forward to and now I can see
why!
Senior Class Trip
Can you believe that the senior activities have
begun?! Our senior class spent the day
in Boston on March 12 and really had a nice time. Even though we had pouring rain in
Middletown, they stayed dry and were able to enjoy all the sights they had
planned.
