It is tradition at Mount Mercy Academy to recognize students who show the most improvement in their academics from one grading quarter to the next. Recently, the Mount Mercy Guidance Department presented The Mother Frances Warde Award to the student in each grade whose average improved the most from third quarter to fourth quarter. Senior Taliyah Shabazz (Buffalo), junior Ryllie Padilla (Buffalo), sophomore Mary Bea Lalley (Buffalo) and freshman Meta Asfaw (Buffalo) were honored for the fourth quarter.
