Mercy Montessori students travel to Florida

Kevin Vance — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 02:32:15 +0000

Junior High students at Mercy Montessori recently returned from a class trip to St. Augustine, Florida via Tennessee and Georgia. Mercy’s 7th and 8th grade student government researched possible class trip sites, presented their recommendations to classmates and voted as a group on their final trip destination. Students independently planned the majority of their travel details, including lodging and points of interest; they are producing a class DVD documenting their journey. The organization of their class trip is a concrete example of the research skills, independence and leadership fostered by the Montessori method of education. Junior high children participate in a week of educational travel every other year. Continue to read the story here: http://local.cincinnati.com/share/story/201429

Mercy Montessori students, faculty and parents enjoyed an all-school celebration honoring the opening of the first House of Mercy in Dublin, Ireland on September 24, 1827 by Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Sisters of Mercy. The program involved a reenactment of the life of Catherine McAuley, written and performed by junior high students, as well as a sing-a-long. Colorful peace mobiles, designed by each classroom during art classes and created for the assembly, are currently on display throughout the school. A food drive was also held to support the Mercy Neighborhood Ministries Food Pantry.

The assembly and food collection were organized by the school’s 7th and 8th grade children, along with Sr. Aloyse Gerharstein RSM of East Walnut Hills. “Sister Aloyse has been involved with the school since its earliest days in 1969 and her creativity and enthusiasm are a true blessing to our students and everyone involved with Mercy Montessori.
