An Incredible Night of Mercy Honors!
What an unforgettable evening of Mercy!
For 25 years, Mercy Honors has celebrated the extraordinary women whose lives, leadership, service, and faith embody the enduring spirit of Mount Mercy Academy. This year's milestone celebration was nothing short of spectacular, bringing together 250 guests for an inspiring evening filled with pride, gratitude, laughter, and, of course, plenty of Mercy Magic!
A wonderful testament to the impact of our honorees, the evening celebrated the remarkable women who have helped shape our Mercy legacy and continue to inspire generations.
One of the most special moments of the evening was a student reflection delivered by Mount Mercy Academy senior Amani Alasri. Amani shared a beautiful and heartfelt message about her Mercy experience, the ways in which Mount Mercy has shaped her, and how the lessons, friendships, and opportunities she has experienced have prepared her for a bright future. We could not be prouder of Amani! We have a feeling we'll be honoring her one day!
Our Mistress of Ceremonies, Bonnie Kane Lockwood '73, was a huge hit, as always! A past Mercy Honors recipient herself, Bonnie kept the evening moving, kept everyone laughing, and beautifully highlighted the incredible accomplishments of each honoree. Thank you, Bonnie, for making the evening so special!
A heartfelt thank-you to our Mercy Honors Committee for their tireless work, dedication, and incredible attention to detail. Your efforts are what make this evening so memorable year after year. We also extend our gratitude to Anita Durkin Crotty '63 and Katlin Hess Dahl '06 for being part of this very special celebration.
