2007-2008 EVENTS

The following events occur during the school year. Planning for these events most often takes place after school hours. Please consider helping to make these special events successful.

MAGAZINE SALE - AUGUST 31 – SEPTEMBER 14                                                                               

A big, big fundraiser!!! Volunteers are needed right away to assist with counting or tallying all returns from the drive. Hours are daily from 9 – 11:00 a.m., so come whenever you can help.

FRIDAY MORNING HELP!ERS

On the first and third Fridays of every month from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m., join us for coffee, pastry and conversation while we do work for the teachers: cutting, Xeroxing, collating, etc. Small children are welcome! This is a great way to make friends and help the teachers; you don’t have to sign up, just drop in. Need 2 volunteers who can come early to make coffee.

SANTA’S STORE - DECEMBER 11 (Tuesday)                                                                      

Each year Mercymount students from PreK – 8 do their own Christmas shopping at school. Volunteers are needed to set up, wrap presents, sell gifts and cleanup. Gift wrapping is done in advance…watch for flyer.

AUCTION - APRIL 5 (Saturday)

This is our largest, most profitable fundraiser and social event. It involves soliciting donations, decorating, setting up and planning. The committee meets monthly starting in September. We need lots of help and ideas!

SWEETHEART DANCE - MAY  (Friday)                              

A dance for Mercymount girls K – 8 and their dads, grandfathers, uncles, etc. This involves decorating the gym, baking, ordering flowers, serving and cleanup. Committee meets several times after the holidays.

The committee will coordinate the evening’s festivity, most likely a PawSox Game in late May or early June since this has been successful in the past.

GOLF TOURNAMENT - JUNE 2 (Friday)                                        

The annual Golf Tournament is held in the spring of each year. The proceeds go directly to the Technology needs at Mercymount. Committee work includes solicitations and rounding up golfers!
