MARLINS MAKING HEADLINES
French Students Experience DIA
|  | |
Madame Campbell’s French 2, French 2 Honors and French for Careers classes enjoyed an interactive docent guided tour with Ms. Leanne Young at the DIA on March 15, 2024. The tour focused on the theme of identity as it is depicted through art from the French Speaking World. Activities included conversations and hands-on activities in which the students were immersed in learning and discovering how personal, national and cultural identity were depicted in various works of French art. The visit also included a visit to the Decorative Arts, which included an interactive cultural lesson on the courses of a French meal. Madame Campbell also led a self-guided tour for her students through the Impressionist galleries which complemented their two week in-depth study in class on the French Impressionist artists. The students created their own virtual museum in the Mercy Media Center with the help of Madame Kreucher who curated the resources for the students and helped them to display their own original works of art.

The Summit - AOD Youth Eucharistic Rally

Mission and Ministry was proud to bring 17 of our student ministry leaders to attend the Archdiocese of Detroit's Eucharistic rally, "The Summit ''at Sacred Heart Major Seminary a few weeks ago. We enjoyed breakout sessions where we learned more about the Eucharist and participated in Eucharistic adoration. Student attendees: Ellie Jamieson, Maeve Casey, Khloe Duneske, Izzy VanHoof, Lily Degrenier, Jess Koehler, Ella Poota, Micah Rogers, Natalie Terrill, Marie Schueneman, Kate Guerin, Allie Cyrek, Sienna Aprilliano, Mackenzie Conway, Ana Spanopoulos, Isabella Casab.
Yearly Service Awards
Our Mercy Day of Celebration on May 23 will be here before we know it! Mission and Ministry will award Service Awards to all students who have achieved 100 hours of service. These hours are cumulative during their time at Mercy and are incremental (100, 200, 300, etc). Students should log these hours into their Mobile Serve account. For 10th - 12th graders, all service hours that were turned in during previous academic years have been imported into Mobile Serve. Mobile Serve accounts need to be updated with service hours by May 1st. Any hours earned after May 1st will count for the following academic year. Please reach out to Mrs. Bennetts if you have any questions.
