               Although their induction ceremony has been delayed due to the onset of Covid-19 in March, Mount Mercy Academy would like to recognize the newest selections to the McAuley Chapter of the National Honor Society.  The students are now seniors, but were selected to the august body last March.

                Seven students from Buffalo were tapped for membership: Kathryn Bednarz, Emma Lewis, Madeline Lickfeld, Megan Reilly, Mary Snyder, Victoria Trzaska and Hannah Vattes.

                Three West Seneca and three Orchard Park residents were also chosen to National Honor Society.  Zoe Gray, Olivia Jarosz, and Emily Kessler of West Seneca and Gianna Lauciello, Claire Mullen, and Emily Rhoads of Orchard Park are also new members.  Angelina Larivey and Rheanna Welsh of Lackawanna, Megan Jozwiak of Springville and Megan Quinn and Catherine Zak complete the newest members of Mount Mercy’s chapter of National Honor Society.

                Selection into the National Honor Society is based on scholarship, service, character and leadership.  A formal induction ceremony will be scheduled when the Covid-19 situation allows it.

"Mount Mercy has positively changed my life forever. Through the inviting community, I was able to grow as a woman, as a daughter, as a friend, and as a member of society. Throughout my time here I have gained an education in both academic areas and life in general through the school's ongoing efforts to educate students on gender inequality, racial injustice, and environmental crisis'. Furthermore, Mercy has given me the space to gain confidence that 4 years ago I never would have guessed I would have. Mount Mercy has helped me take that initial step toward becoming the strong woman of color I am today. At Mercy you are more than just a student, you are whoever you wish to be."

"My future, success, and the ability to be an empowered woman in society come from Mount Mercy. My school is a strong foundation for my role in life. From attending Mount Mercy, I can say with confidence, that I will graduate with the mindset that I can accomplish anything. Mercy is my home and my sanctuary to be whoever I want. Mount Mercy has been bringing forth generations of strong intellectual women into the world, and I am more than honored to be one of them. Mercy teaches girls more than academics, but also about the world around us. As a mercy community, we give back to the world because it is our home. From my four years at Mercy, I have been educated on pushing for equality and peace and the understanding that there is no limit to what I can do. I have the confidence to go out in the world and make a difference because being a Mercy girl has given me that opportunity. "

"Mercy is more than just a school. Mercy is my second home and a shoulder to lean on. Mount Mercy has given me the confidence and resources to pursue my passions and make the world a more inclusive place, propelling me to take strides into male-dominated fields. Mercy blessed me with an environment to grow intellectually and in the community, giving me the foundation to make a tangible impact while making lifelong friendships."
