This is a reminder of the 5/8 communication in regard to the possible change of date for Mercy Celebration Day.
The Administrative Team is considering flip flopping Wellness Wednesday (May 19) and Mercy Day of Celebration (May 20). Although Mercy Day of Celebration has been on the calendar all school year, we recently learned of a conflict with Thursday, May 20 that would prevent a group of students from participating in this favorite Mercy tradition. Due to the pandemic, these students would miss out on Adviser Group Senior Parties, Honors Convocation and Moving Up two years straight. We would like to provide these students with the opportunity to be present for Mercy Day of Celebration, especially the Seniors.
If there is an issue with your daughter(s) attending school on Wednesday, May 19, please complete this form by this Monday, May 10. If the decision is made to switch the dates, Mercy Day of Celebration will take place on Wednesday, May 19 and Thursday, May 20 will be Wellness Thursday. Students would therefore not attend school on May 20 and May 21 (day off earned from the Maroon & Gold Raffle).
