News of Note - Mount Mercy Participates in Porchfest in South Buffalo

by Meagan Saxe

 

 

 

Saturday, July 24th

12:00PM to 5:00PM

 

South Buffalo Porchfest is a music festival that takes advantage of the "stages" all over our neighborhood.  Musicians set up on a porch (or deck, driveway, or other place) and those passing by are treated to a concert. Pretty good, huh?

This festival is organized by South Buffalo Roots (formerly known as Can You Dig it, Inc), the promoters of the South Buffalo Irish Festival (southbuffaloirishfestival.org), and is inspired by the other porchfests around the country including the Buffalo Porchfest (buffaloporchfest.org) held in the Elmwood Village, as well as the original Porchfest orginated in Ithaca, NY.

"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."
