MMA Weekly • December 13, 2019 Announcements Welcome to the MMA Weekly!
Merion Mercy is now publishing the "MMA Weekly" every Friday, which will cover important announcements, the school and athletics calendars, and other co-curricular updates. Since the calendar is subject to occasional adjustments, please be sure to check the live calendar throughout the week too.
Community Service Corps (CSC)
This year, MMA has committed to help almost 50 children and adults through both Mercy Neighborhood Ministries and My Place Germantown. Families/individuals can choose to purchase and donate a requested gift card or make a donation that will contribute to the purchase of requested gift cards or gifts. Everyone who makes a donation of any kind or size–cash, gift card, small requested gift, wrapping paper (for the few gifts that will require it)–will be able to decorate an ornament that will be placed on our school Giving Tree. Donations will be accepted in the Dining Commons during all lunch codes through Monday, December 16. Gifts clearly identified (CSC Christmas giving) may also be dropped off in the Main Office at other times. For the full list of Christmas Giving requests, please click here.

This is a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and to meet new ones. This is a free event hosted by the Parents Association–we hope you can join us! Please register here.
Lunch & Learn
This year, Merion Mercy has launched Lunch & Learn sessions to connect our alumnae community with current students and give our students exposure and access to real advisors, inclusive events, and resources to help them prepare and claim their place in the careers, industries, and roles they want. There are two more sessions planned for the school year: Tuesday, January 28 and Tuesday, March 24. Please encourage students to register for one or more! Click here to learn more about the January 28 event and/or refer your daughter to www.merion-mercy.com/lunchandlearn to register.
