We are so glad that we had the chance to attend the conference again and make new connections with Mercy schools everywhere. Our two senior reps were Rachel Bourne and Jennifer DiNoto, and our two junior reps were Brooke Burghardt and Leah Hill. Our Vice Principal for Student Affairs, Ms. Jane Jackson, was kind enough to accompany us on the trip and act as our moderator. Thank you, Ms. Jackson! = =We found the conference very beneficial for ourselves individually, as well as our entire school. We were able to come up with new ideas on our own, as well as expand on other schools’ ideas. At the conference, Sr. Deirdre Mullan introduced us all to the Mercy-Girl-Effect project for the 2011-2012 school year. Its title is “The 50/50 Challenge.” Our goal is to raise money for $50 scholarships for 50 million girls in various developing countries. We will continue to post ideas, as well as give updates on our fundraising and campaigns throughout the year! = = = = =
