Middle School Welcomes Renowned Author

Yesterday, Mercy’s middle school hosted its second speaker in its ‘Career Workshop’ series. James Kennedy, author of ‘The Order of Odd-Fish’ and founder of the 90-second Newbery Film Festival, presented examples of student-produced 90-second Newbery films about their favorite Newbery books. Mr. Kennedy explained how the films were made and encouraged Mercy Girls’ participation in future festivals. Another seed of knowledge and experience was planted in our middle school wildflower garden!
