Mount Mercy Participates in the 716 Day of Giving

                Mount Mercy Academy, accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and a member of both the Mercy Secondary Education Association and the Network for Mercy Education, is participating in this year’s 716 Day of Giving.  The school, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy and which has been in existence for almost 120 years, is hoping to raise funds to establish the Mount Mercy Athletics Academy. Mount Mercy Academy is restructuring the Physical Education and Health program to an all-encompassing wellness-based curriculum.  The academy activities will be designed as Project-Based Learning in order to provide cross-curricular opportunities for all students.

                Interested donors should visit Give716.org to support Mount Mercy Academy’s Athletic Academy which will have a focused curriculum, access to expertise within the field, connections to the community, and an independent identity within the Mount Mercy community, a “school within a school”.

"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."
