One of our favorite Mercy celebrations is back! Human Relations Council proudly presented Ethnic Bazaar United in Mercy on Friday, November 19. Ethnic Bazaar is a long standing Mercy tradition which highlights our diversity and unity through song, dance, poetry, prayer, food and fashion. Watch performances here. Congratulations to HRC and all participants for a memorable Mercy day!

We did it! THANK YOU Mercy families for your generous Focus: HOPE Food Drive donations! Bountiful boxes filled the semi truck and many went above and beyond to provide food and money to those in need. Mercy High school is proud to be one of Focus: HOPE's largest and most influential donors.

Today is #GivingTuesday! We invite you to join us for this day of philanthropy to support the education of young women at Mercy High School. You can make your gift any time at mhsmi.org/donate. Thank you for your support!

We have filled all of our vendor slots but we are looking for student volunteers and donations of refreshments and supplies. Please see the Sign-Genius to participate. 

All Mercy Dads/Male Guardians are invited to the next Dads' Club meeting this Wednesday, December 1 in the Cafeteria. Dinner is at 6:30pm and the general meeting will start at 7:00pm. RSVP HERE. Hope to see you Wednesday night!

The Dads' Club is in need of volunteers to assist at the Mercy Christmas Dance the evening of Friday, December 17 at Laurel Manor. Multiple shift times available. Sign-up here. Thank you in advance for your support!
