Volume 11, Issue 4 December 2014/January 2015
Dear Mercer Parents/Guardians,
The hallways of Mercer are filled with the hustle and bustle of
winter as students charge towards the most challenging work of
the school year. Already, students have put forth great efforts
while teachers strive to challenge all to reach goals promoting
hard work and perseverance. For the first marking period alone,
Mercer recognized over 900 of its students for achieving either
the Honor or High Honor Roll. Way to go, Mountain Lions! The winter months will provide us more excitement and chances
to spread holiday cheer to those in need. The LEO Club will
begin its “Toys for Tots” drive with a bin in the main office. The
Science Department will hold its “Invention Convention” on the
night of December 11th at 6:30 PM, with the PTA providing
scholarships to the winners. The first concert of the year will be
an 8th grade winter concert on December 11th at Champe. 7th
Grade Strings will perform on December 17th at 7:00 PM at
Mercer. On December 19th, all of the students at Mercer will get
to hear the 8th grade band during school as we wrap up for the
winter break. During this week, our music department will travel
to the elementary schools that feed into Mercer and perform for
the students there, spreading the Mercer holiday spirit. Upon return from the winter break, the Drama Club will begin
preparing for its production of Suessical the Musical for its
March performances. The annual Spelling Bee will have the
students abuzz on January 6th. Shortly thereafter, the second
marking period will come to a close on January 23rd. Finally, the
music department will be putting on many performances, with 6th
Grand Band performing on January 21st, 7th Grade Band on
January 22nd, and 7th Grade Chorus and Orchestra performing on
January 29th at Champe. The teachers of Mercer will also be working on improving the
craft of teaching in January. As part of the school improvement
plan (SIP), the teachers will be involved in the second session of
content-specific professional development. The focus from the
professional development results from the continuous
walkthroughs that the Mercer Administration Team conducts in
collaboration with the “look for’s” developed by the teachers.
The content teams (CLT’s) are then led by the Subject Area Lead
Teachers (SALT’s) through professional development activities
to build on strengths and remediate weaknesses that are shown in
the data collected.
In This Issue...
As we approach the first extended break from school, please be
sure to take some time to talk to your son or daughter about what
is happening at Mercer. Set some goals for him/her for the
second half of the year and beyond. Finally, let him/her take
some time to relax from the grind of the first part of the year and
come back invigorated for an action-packed finale. Enjoy the
holidays!
“Roar, Mountain Lions, Roar”

Stress Reduction Strategies
From: http://www.vsacca.org/ Stress is a natural part of every young person’s life. Students’ stress is
usually related to everyday experiences, worries and challenges at school, home, in the community and
within their peer group. Young people, like adults, can benefit from learning and practicing stress
management skills. See below for some healthy strategies to manage stress:
Eat healthy meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables
Maintain daily routine and schedule
Exercise regularly
Avoid caffeine (can increase feelings of anxiety and agitation)
Do things you enjoy (for example: art, listening to music, being outdoors, dancing, writing poetry,
reading, etc.)
Get good amounts of rest and sleep
State feelings in a clear way (for example: “I feel angry when you yell at me.”)
Decrease negative self-talk (for example: transform “My grades will never get any better.” to “I
may not be doing so well now, but my grades can improve if I get extra help and I do all my
homework.”)
Spend time with friends who help you cope in a positive way
Learn relaxation techniques (such as: deep breathing, muscle relaxation, meditation)
Talk to caring adults
Humor/laughter (Example: watch a funny show or movie.)
Use a stress ball
Stay organized
Please visit our web page under School Counseling to keep up to date with upcoming events for
parents and students.

Book Fair Memories
There are numerous people who helped make our annual Book Fair a great success. First, thank you
to all of our volunteers for graciously sharing their time and talents:
Andrea Carroll, Karin Cascio, Linda Forester, Carrie Fuentes, Beth Meeker, Roohi Rizvi, Robert Rocheford, Sukirti Sharma, Kavita Solanki, Laura Tekrony, Sambi Vang and Carrie Wynder
Special thanks to Mercer’s faculty and staff for daily support of this adventure—a fundraiser to benefit all
Mercer students. Proceeds from the Book Fair come in two forms: funds (to supply materials to challenge and
educate our students) and books (to aid their comprehension and literacy development).
It’s That Time Again
Winter Break is fast
approaching. Help your
student to locate any
books that he or she
would like to return
before the
holidays.
I Resolve
Don’t look now, but it’s almost time to
make those annual resolutions. What
will you do in 2015 to increase your
literacy skills and your literary
development? Resolve to visit the
library soon!
Coming Soon
April 16, 2015 is the date of our fifth annual LIVING HISTORY DAY.
Do you have a friend, relative, or contact willing to share his or her experiences
of life during World War II, Korean or Vietnam Wars?
Contact Claire Scholz, [email protected] with your information today.
Thank you!
The Mercer-Cultural Collection
