Happy Catholic Schools Week (CSW) Mercy community! During CSW Mercy students and staff have the chance to dress down all week in different themes to celebrate Catholic Schools. Mercy's CSW is usually concluded with a big surprise on Friday, typically including no classes! Mercy bases their themed days after FIESTA, the biggest fundraiser for the school and tuition assistance. For FIESTA this year the theme is Mad Hatter!
On Thursday Mercy celebrated Catholic Schools, not just Mercy High School but also catholic elementary and middle schools. Throughout the day Mercy girls also had the chance to find Jesus within the school, not just in their theology classes but also as a scavenger hunt item. Little plastic Jesus' were hidden around the school for the opportunity to win a piece of chocolate. Later that night was Pack the House, one of Mercy's most memorable traditions during winter sports. At Pack the House basketball games, there's many things to participate in like chili tasting for the staff cookout. There's also many raffle prizes like parking spots for a week, prom tickets, and free lunches. All of the proceeds go towards the mission and it's always such a fun event for everyone.
HAPPY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK!
