Written By: Samantha Lynch ‘23


Over the next few weeks, Mercy Media will be writing a reoccurring article covering the diverse offering of clubs. In each edition, we are going to cover two clubs and talk about their goals and purposes. Our Goal With this article is for clubs to attract new members. This is the First Edition of this segment, so be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments down below!


Peer Tutoring Club

The Peer Tutoring club is run by Katelyn Osborne ‘21. She started the club “to broaden the tutoring community and make educational aid available to girls who may need help with their classes, especially in this challenging time”. This club typically meets during the collaboration period and a meeting consists of signing up tutors for events, giving helpful advice to better their tutoring skills, and discussing how they can make knowledge accessible for their mercy sisters. The club is moderated by Mr. Watts and currently has around eight members. This club is a prime example of Mercy’s Sisterhood and showcases how Mercy’s students look out for each other.

The Girls in Dungeons Fighting Dragons Club was created by Mia Chiang ‘21, as she wanted to “bring a new game to Mercy”. The game she decided to bring was Dungeons and Dragons. This game (Often referred to by players as D&D) is a fantasy role-playing tabletop game. Many think that this game is primarily played by men and boys, so Mia wanted to break down stereotypes for girls who enjoyed the game. The club is moderated by Mrs. Ezell and they have meetings after school, where their 20 members play D&D.
