For today’s Kindness Drive suggestion: Here’s an idea: Leave a little “Have a great day!” note inside someone’s book bag or binder, or on their desk. It will be a cheerful way to surprise someone!

Arts Fest is tomorrow! Tomorrow morning you will receive a nametag during homeroom. On this nametag you will find the locations for the workshops you will attend. This will be a dress down day and there will be a free pizza lunch for everyone! Pizza will be served for all in the high school gym, but the middle school will move to the middle school gym to eat and watch student performances. The high school students will stay in the high school gym to watch student performances. The day will end with the Top 10 student performances and dismiss for the day at 1 o’clock. It is going to be a great day!

A big shout out to Panorea Tsoukalos and Gabriella Zocco, members of Mercy’s own Downstage Dance Center! This past weekend they placed first in their division for teen duets and senior teen duets! Congratulations!

There will be no Sylvan Math tutoring with Miss Abby tomorrow.

Attention all summer health students! There will be a meeting in Mrs. Trout’s room, M5 today during Advisement. If you cannot make the meeting, please email Mrs. Trout.

Are you a Junior? Are you in MasterMinds? Then go to practice today afterschool in Rm. 315.

And now for today’s Leadership highlight:

Our leadership highlight today is for freshman Heidi Duran who was nominated by Mrs. Gupta. She has excelled as a Mercy ambassador, involving herself regularly in important Mercy events like open house and mini schedule night as she models the Mercy spirit for new and potential students. Furthermore, she is an avid and skilled member of Mercy Crew and brings out the best in others as she builds camaraderie among her teammates. She represents the Mercy spirit in after-school activities as well by participating in Masterminds and being actively involved in her church. Heidi embodies the traits of a leader by helping others and giving up her time to solve problems and work together. Congratulations Heidi!
