Happy Snowy Valentine’s Day
Even with the snow, we have certainly had an eventful few weeks before our February break! 


SCC Cheerleading Competition
On Saturday, February 1st our Cheerleaders competed at Shelton High School in the SCC Cheerleading competition.  They worked very hard to prepare for the competition and can be proud of their performance.  It is also great seeing them in Mercy uniforms cheering for the Mercy basketball team this year!


Blood Drive

On February 6, the National Honor Society sponsored a Blood Drive where 65 students volunteered to give the gift of life.  The American Red Cross arrived early, even with a snow delay opening of school.  The National Honor Society students did an excellent job of making sure each stage of the giving process went smoothly and can be proud of this successful service project.




Senior Valentine Dance

Keeping with the heart theme, on Friday, February 7th the seniors gathered for their Valentine Dance.  The cafeteria was transformed with lights, disco ball and streamers.  The juniors donated delicious cookies, brownies and cupcakes.  Our Mercy women looked lovely and all really enjoyed the evening.  Here are a few pictures of the night!






Class L State Indoor Track Competition

Congratulations to the Mercy Indoor Track and Field team who placed 9th out of 21 teams in the Class L State competition on February 6th.  Congratulations as well to Kaleigh Roberts who established a new Class L meet record in the 3200 meters race.  Read all about it here: Class L Meet

Poetry Out Loud

Given the prediction of snow, the Poetry Out Loud contest was held one day earlier than planned on Wednesday, February 12th.  Fourteen students recited poetry that they had memorized and performed with attention to presentation and presence.  It was truly an inspiring and enjoyable evening.  Thank you to the English department for organizing this event!  Congratulations to Maura Eckels who finished in 3rd place, Shanya Wyatt who placed 2nd and Michaella Toledo who was the first place finisher and will represent Mercy High School at the state competition in Hartford on March 12.
