  • Happy Thursday of Catholic Schools Week!  If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!  Sign up to play dodgeball and to compete in the Women of Faith contest.  Both events will take place during our end of the day assembly tomorrow. Sign-ups start this morning in homeroom and will end tomorrow morning, so homeroom teachers…..be sure to get your sheet to Ms. Whipple on Friday by Advisement. Students from each grade level will be selected at random at the start of the assembly to make-up the teams. Winners will receive a surprise PRIZE! You must be wearing sneakers to participate.
  • And guess what?!?  You get ANOTHER DRESS DOWN DAY tomorrow!  You will be sitting with your grade level in the gym bleachers, so we encourage you to wear your class color and/or Mercy spirit gear. Dig out those old Spirit Day shirts or anything else in your class color.  No charge for this dress down.
  • Today is the last day to support NHS!  Order food at the Penfield location Bill Grays all day long and 15% of your purchase will be donated to NHS. Either show the cashier your yellow slip or tell them you’re there for Mercy. Thank you for your support!
  • Motto and Munchies happens today after school in the Art Gallery. Let’s celebrate & support all our Seniors and their incredible work on their Motto projects!
  • Welcome back to thoughtful Thursday, a segment to Bee Better with Bee! Did you know that showering uses 2.5 gallons of water per minute???? And long showers require more energy from burning fossil fuels, which is harmful to the earth. Cutting down water consumption is always a good thing since it leaves more water for our ecosystems. Even if you shorten your time by 5 minutes, you can save 12.5 gallons of water. Have a great day mercy!

  • Did you know that tomorrow is Ground Hog’s Day???? To continue the fun and celebration of Catholic Schools Week, this morning in homeroom you will vote, as a homeroom, whether or not Punxsutawney the Ground Hog WILL or WILL NOT see his shadow. You will submit your homeroom’s decision via the google form that your homeroom teachers have access to. Tomorrow morning, we will all watch the live TV airing of Punxsutawney Phil as he emerges from his burrow, to see his shadow or not. The winning homerooms will all be placed in a raffle. One winner per grade level will be pulled and your homeroom will receive a breakfast treat Friday morning in homeroom. Good luck and we wonder……will he see his shadow, causing us 6 more weeks of winter???? WE WILL FIND OUT! Good luck with your prediction!

  Happy Catholic Schools Week, Mercy!

  • We will be on a special schedule today for an all-school prayer service this afternoon. The order of periods will not change, they will just be a few minutes shorter to accommodate the half hour prayer service.  All students will report to the Auditorium at 12:36  (this is after period 6 for grades 6-10 and after third lunch for Juniors and Seniors).  You will sit in your assigned homeroom seats. And speaking of lunch – there will be a photo booth and hot chocolate during all 3 lunches in the cafeteria today.  Enjoy!
  • Model UN members: Our next meeting is this Thursday at 7:20 in room 113. See Mr. Stryker if you cannot attend.
  • Seniors:  You will be taking your class yearbook photo during Advisement tomorrow, Wednesday, 2/01 in the high school gym. Please report to the gym immediately following the bell to be part of the photo. It will only take a few minutes, but it will last a lifetime.  See you there!
