Farmington Optimist Leadership Award |
|
Congratulations to Kamari Dokes '22 who was awarded the 2020-2021 Farmington Optimist Leadership Award for her outstanding work in demonstrating leadership skills that support positive relationship development.
Kamari was instrumental in this year's Black History Assembly in helping to plan, facilitate and execute our panel forum. Her presence, planning and leadership in HRC have had tremendous impact and we are grateful for her efforts. An HRC moderator shares, "Kamari has a keen insight into her peers and others around her, and has an earnest approach to making the world a better place."

Mercy partnered with Ford to offer a Ford STEAM Lab for our 9th grade iExplore classes. Students were charged with designing wearable technology for a target user. The students each took on leadership roles within their groups such as CEO, marketing and design engineer. On the final day, each group presented their technology to judges from Ford.
Congrats to these three winning groups!
B.E.L.T.: designed an earpiece to help with everyday tasks
Rainbow Electronics: came up with a "Feels Backpack" for students
LASAR: designed a comfortable high heel with heat and cooling features
We thank Ford for the opportunity for our Mercy students to interact and learn from women working in the Engineering field and we look forward to offering a similar experience next school year!
