Mercy Tigers Roar!
We have had an amazing few weeks and much of the excitement involves our Mercy Roar video. I can’t imagine that you haven’t yet seen our Mercy
Tigers video by now, but if not, you will
want to take a few minutes to watch at: Mercy Tigers Roar
The feedback from our parents, alumnae and the community
at large has been wonderful! We have had
students interviewed for the Middletown Press, Hartford Courant, Fox
News and Channel 8 News. We are still waiting to hear if we
will be finalists for the Good Morning America contest but clips from our video
were used in one of their promotions! We
are so proud of our Mercy women and Mercy High School!
Here are a few pictures from the taping of “Mercy Tigers
Roar”:

Our teams are continuuing to have competitive seasons and we have had some beautiful days to watch! Congratulations to the girls cross country team that won the SCC Quinipiac Division Championship.
Mini Class Night
We welcomed all parents on September 19th for
our mini class night. Parents followed
their daughters' schedules and had an opportunity to meet their teachers. The highlight of the evening was a talk by
Sr. Patricia McCarthy, CND (Sr. Mary’s sister!) Wonderful insights were shared and
we are still hearing from parents about how much they enjoyed her words.
Mercy Day
We celebrated the founding of the Sisters of Mercy on
September 24th with a prayer service for the entire student body
which ended with a viewing of the Mercy Tigers Roar video and then sharing of tea
and cookies. Thank you to
Nancy Schempf, one of our Mercy parents, who baked and then donated the tea pot shaped cookies! It was a truly
wonderful tribute to the Sisters of Mercy who helped to found Mercy High School
50 years ago!
Tech Tigers
Congratulations to our Tech Tigers who won the Spirit
Award at the Bash at the Beach competition on Saturday, October 5th. Many comments were offered as to their
helpfulness to others and enthusiasm.
Here is a pic of the Tech Tigers with their award:
Fall Athletics:
Our volleyball team is also doing well and was featured in the Middletown Press this past week!
Early Dismissal
We are finding that a number of parents are arriving to
pick up their daughters early without the office having prior knowledge that
the student is being dismissed. In order
to minimize classroom interruptions, please submit a note to the main office
the morning of the dismissal by 8:00 a.m.
A pass may then be given to your daughter so that she may leave class
and be ready for you when you arrive to pick her up. Please refer to the Parent-Student Handbook
on p. 15 if you have any other questions and thank you for your cooperation.
