Dear Mercy Parents/Guardians:
As you are aware, the Mercy pool is closed. We have worked with professionals to assess the current state of the pool and determine what is needed to repair or enhance the pool.
Larry Baker, Associate Principal, and Gary Bank, Site Manager, presented options at the Board of Trustees meeting last night and a discussion followed. After careful review of the data, the Board of Trustees and Administration have determined a two step approach for the Mercy pool. Step 1: Repairs will begin this month. The pool is scheduled to reopen for the 2017 fall season. Step 2: If there is a desire and financial backing, a more detailed plan will be made to raise funds for a new pool. If you're interested in this endeavor, please contact the Mercy Advancement Office.
The Mercy High School pool has a strong tradition including swim classes through Physical Education and an outstanding swim and dive program. We recognize and celebrate the importance of this legacy to our students, alumnae and Mercy High School.
We are immediately seeking support for step 1. At this time, with generous contributions made at the Auction and additional pool pledges, we are over halfway to the estimated $180,000 needed.

Dear Alumnae and Friends of Mercy,
The Mercy High School pool and swim program have a proud and strong tradition including classes through Physical Education and an outstanding Swim and Dive Team. We recognize and celebrate the importance of this legacy to our students, alumnae and Mercy High School.
The Mercy pool is original to the current campus and has been maintained for 53 years. During Christmas break, it was discovered that there were several operational issues with the pool. Due to the severity, the pool has been closed. After professional assessments, we have determined the much needed repairs and cost to make the Mercy pool operational by the 2017 fall season.

Contributions from Mercy graduates will get the pool running, keep the girls swimming, and continue our Mercy Marlins legacy. The Mercy Swim and Dive Team boasts 8 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS (1972, 1998, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013), 50 Catholic League Championships and 18 Oakland County Championships.
Thanks to generous donations made at the Auction and donor support, we raised over half the required funds. We need additional help to finish the project and open the pool! Visit the crowd funding web page here to make your gift today. Please be sure to leave a cherished comment or your favorite swim memory.
YOU can make a difference!
The goal of this meeting is to bring awareness of the Mercy pool projects and generate support for this important initiative. Come hear our plans and help our championship Swim and Dive Team!
Sincerely,
