Celebrations!

With Spring comes the beginning of a season of celebrations.  From the “wearin’ o’ the green” for St. Patrick’s Day to remembering  50 years of Mercy education!

 

 

 

 

Senior Class Trip

Our Seniors traveled to NYC on March 19 on their last trip together as a class.  They had lunch at an Italian restaurant in Manhattan called Bucca de Peppo and then saw Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella on Broadway.  What a great day!

 

 

 

Language Honor Societies Induction

From the Italian restaurant to the celebration of Language study here at home, we recognized the hard work of our language students with their induction into the Spanish, French and (for the first time) Latin National Honor Societies.  The ceremonies were beautiful and reflective of each culture honored.

 

 

From April 1^st to the 4^th we have continued our celebration of world cultures and language with “World Language Week”.  Each morning we have begun with a prayer recited in a different language, student made t-shirts are being worn honoring their language of study and we began the week on Tuesday with an assembly on African dance and storytelling.  What a great experience for all at Mercy!

 

 

50th Anniversary Celebrations

On March 22, 1964 ground was broken for the construction of Mercy High School.  On Monday, March 24, 2014 a Mass of Celebration was held in the Mercy High School Auditorium for students and nearly 100 guests with Bishop Cote presiding.  The Mass was beautiful followed by lunch for all.  A spirited assembly followed where the Mayor of Middletown, Daniel Drew, greeted the assembled and congratulated all on 50 years of Mercy education in Middletown.   All were then treated to a presentation of Mercy picture memories and the gift of an anniversary bracelet. (available at the Mercy online store)

 

Here are some pictures of that day:

 

 

On Saturday of that week, March 29, we held our Anniversary Dinner.  Over 400 guests came to share memories and see good friends.  It was a great night with good food and time spent together. Thank you to the dinner committee and memories committee that worked so hard to have the evening be a success!

 

 

 

 

 

The celebrations are not over!  On Sunday, May 4^th a 50^th Anniversary Day of Celebration has been planned.  For more information check on our website at:  50thAnniversary
