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!
