The best part of Our Lady of Mercy is the connection bewteen the communtiy, the girls interacting bewteen grade levels and being a apart of the sisterhood aspect. What I would like to see change is long processess that each year every girl has to go through for simple things such as a schedule, or a surface pro fix that turns into months, or the constant wait for counselors to be available to help you.
