Staging a Comeback!
 Mr. and Mrs. Sill and the Mercy Performing Arts staff encourage you to help the Mercy Auditorium stage a comeback! Auditorium needs include the replacement of the stage floor, wireless microphones and auditorium lighting.
Partial funds have been raised at the Auction and from donations made by parents, alumnae and friends. We are off to a great start, but much more is still needed to make the necessary repairs and upgrades.
Visit our crowdfunding site to help stage a comeback! Gifts of all sizes are appreciated and will make an immediate impact on this very important project.
