As we have entered into a new school year, the typical Mercy girls rushing to get lunch in the cafe before class begins, spending time in the media center and hanging out in the lobby during off-hours have sadly not returned.

Nevertheless, the journey of persisting through strenuous times is a value Mercy instills within its students to embrace and overcome. In this video, viewers will get to see a senior document how Mercy has transformed into a safe COVID-19 atmosphere that allows for the students to learn and have physical interactions with others while remaining socially distant.
