Say goodbye to pocket protectors!
By Mercy Junior Chrissy Redmond, daughter of alumna Pat Donnelly Redmond ‘78
The Redmond sisters (Kelly '12,
Chrissy '10, and Karen '10)
stand proud with Dr. Sally Ride
at the Hasbro headquarters in
Rhode Island.
With our high tech world changing on a daily basis,
I find it odd that more high school girls aren’t considering
the math and engineering fields as careers. In fact, fewer
than 1 in 5 engineers today are women! The term
“engineer” once described someone who was thought
of as a “geek” complete with pocket protector and thick
rimmed glasses. These “geeks” are creating the next
generation of cool gadgets and are using cutting-edge
technologies to span into all areas of the work force.
A group of engineers even took part in developing the
swimsuit Michael Phelps wore in the Olympic Games.
So if engineering is so “cool,” why aren’t more high
school girls interested? I learned I’m not the only one
who is asking this question. Dr. Sally Ride made history
as the first American woman in space in 1983 on board
the shuttle Challenger. She has devoted much of her time
and resources igniting girls’ interest in math, science,
and engineering through her outreach programs. When
I was in seventh grade I was fortunate enough to become
acquainted with Sally Ride. I attended a Sally Ride
Ultimately our toy was patented with another
manufacturer Mattel, but I will always remember that
amazing day at Hasbro. The next year Sally Ride Science
asked us to present “Hop to It” at the National Building
Museum in Washington D.C. during the National
Engineer’s Week. We met several prominent engineers
and even had an opportunity to talk via radio directly to
an astronaut in the space station!
Our inventing quest didn’t end there. We decided
to enter the Sally Ride ToyChallenge again, but things
would be much different this time around. With the
help of Broadway Producer Dori Berinstein, Sally Ride
decided to create a documentary which would
follow a few ToyChallenge teams from the early
brainstorming sessions to the final competition in San
Diego and include every step of the design process. It
was another year of trials and tribulations because we had
to start from scratch and come up with the next great toy
in seven months - all while every move was documented
with film crews flown in weekly from New York.
Mercy students defy convention with toy inventions
The Redmond sisters demonstrate
their toy invention "Hop To It."
Chrissy Redmond '10 solders the
control board for "Punch 'em Out."
Festival at the University of Michigan Engineering School
and that experience commenced my inventing adventure
which has led me and my sisters, Mercy junior Karen
Redmond and Mercy freshwoman Kelly Redmond,
to North Carolina, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and
beyond. At that festival the Sally Ride team launched
the 2005 ToyChallenge competition. We were one
of the first teams to sign up and had absolutely no idea
what we were getting ourselves into. Over 400 teams
entered the competition with more than 2,000 other
hopeful inventors. We soon realized they call it a Toy
“Challenge” for a reason, but solving all the problems
and handling all of the issues we encountered gave us a
new sense of accomplishment - and was really fun! Our
creation “Hop to It” was a futuristic jump rope that
used infra red sensors and a turntable. It jumped us right
into first place! We were awarded the grand prize trip
to Space Camp in Alabama and Hasbro action figures
created in our likenesses.
This first win was only the beginning. We were
invited to present “Hop to It” to the top officers of the
Hasbro Toy Company. We showed our creation in what
they call “the tank” where toy manufacturers present
their new toys and games in hopes that Hasbro will
market their product. Our pitch was to the President,
CFO, and CEO of Hasbro, local news crews, Hasbro
employees, and Sally Ride. We realized our presentation
was just as, if not more important, than the toy itself.
We outdid our previous invention with a toy we
named “Punch ‘em Out.” This creation required
that we learn to program a micro computer and wire
a complicated control board. “Punch ‘em Out” was a
fitness reflex game in which three athletic punching bags
were mounted on telescoping poles and placed apart
from each other on the floor in a triangular configuration.
The punching bags would randomly light up based
on the computer program we wrote and the object of
the game was to punch or kick the bag before the light
went out. The score was calculated on a control box.
We did it! We created another winning toy and presented
it at the Impex Inventing conference to the Everlast
Athletic Company. The documentary, Some Assembly
Required, premiered last March at the SXSW film
festival in Austin, Texas and more recently was shown at
the Seattle Film Festival.
So why aren’t more young women choosing
engineering as a career? I’m at a loss. The experiences
I’ve enjoyed over the past few years have only made a
question like this one more puzzling. Sally Ride Science
proved to me that engineering is anything but the historical
stereotype and has really peaked my interest in engineering,
robotics and computer programming. And I’m not alone.
Both Karen and I plan to apply to engineering schools,
electrical and bio-medical engineering respectively, and
we can thank Sally Ride and all of the other mentors
who’ve helped us along the way.

Give us a week
Over the past year, President Sr. Regina Marie Doelker, RSM met with
major donors and secured $ 2.8 million for the Capital Campaign Investing in
Excellence – Building Mercy’ Future. This year, the campaign moves into the
public phase. Prior to asking alumnae, past parents, and friends for their support,
we first wanted our present students and staff ’s participation.
Student council leaders came up with a creative way for Mercy students to
support the campaign. They proposed that each student take one week and tally
her spending on luxury items like coffee, gum, or candy – fun, non-essential purchases. After tracking their spending for one week, the girls were
asked to forgo their luxury items for the following week and donate that money to Mercy’s capital campaign. The students realized that their
small purchases added up to a substantial gift to the campaign. The campaign funds will build new science labs, a student commons area with
half-lockers, air condition the auditorium, invest in the endowment, and make other campus enhancements.
Now we are calling on YOU to support this crucial and exciting campaign. The Sisters of Mercy have done an admirable job maintaining Mercy’s
beautiful campus and school building over the past forty-three years but it is time to reinvest in our facility in a major way. We ask that you read
through your materials and visit the website to learn more. Like the students, we ask that you forgo a luxury or two and donate an amount right
for your financial situation. Your investment will help secure Mercy’s future and the bright future of our young Women Who Make a Difference.
Mercy High School Capital Campaign
Below are a number of frequently asked questions about Mercy’s
Capital Campaign.
1. What is the Campaign goal?
The fundraising goal is $4 million with an additional $2 million in
outside financing for a total of $6 million. Through the generosity of
key stakeholders and supporters during the silent phase, we have nearly
$3 million in gifts and pledges.

The Alumnae Book Club recently read Three Cups of Tea, One Man’s Mission to
Promote Peace…One School at a Time by Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Relin.
One poignant line in this book stuck with me regarding a tradition in Pakistan
which dictates having Tea with your guests before doing any business – "The
first cup of tea, you're a stranger; the second cup, a friend; and the third cup, you're
family." April 2008 marked the 4th Annual Tea for Tuition with countless cups
of tea. As always, all guests were considered Mercy family.
Parents, alumnae, and friends of Mercy shared a cup of tea, or two, or three, and
enjoyed company of women who make a difference. Over $10,000 was raised in
support of the tuition assistance program thanks to the generosity of attendees
and AbsenTEA donors. In the spirit of taking time for “three cups of tea,” we look
forward to the 5th Annual Tea for Tuition on April 26, 2009.

Mary Pat McDougall ’56 received the 2008 Distinguished Alumnae Award.
Mary Pat remarked, “Receiving the Distinguished Alumna Award this year was truly an
honor in that I represented alums throughout the country who are giving back to their
communities in a variety of ways because they learned at Mercy that providing service to
others is what makes our lives meaningful.” Nominated by her classmates, “We applaud
her perseverance and devotion to the ideals of service, justice, and human dignity. Her
generosity and kindness are legend in both the neighborhood and parish.” Mary Pat
McDougall currently serves as the President of Operation ABLE in Southfield, MI.

Mercy Doctor and Patient
By Rebecca Burnett Mathis ‘92
Ask Christy Hoelscher Markin ’70 and she will tell you that Dr. Maribeth Knight ’87 saved
her life. During the course of an annual exam last year, Dr. Knight discovered a small lump
in Christy’s breast, even after a mammogram showed no significant abnormalities. A biopsy
determined the lump was malignant and Christy underwent a lumpectomy and radiation.
The treatment was successful and, thankfully, she is healthy today.
Christy and her husband, Jerry, are both retired and divide their time between Commerce
Township and Florida. They have three adult sons, three daughters-in-law, one granddaughter,
Dr. Maribeth Knight '87
and a second grandchild due next year.
Christy believes it was Dr. Knight’s quality of care and careful attention to her patients that made the difference. Christy says,
“I thank God every day for the education that Mercy High School provided to Maribeth Knight. Every woman should know the value
of a wonderful doctor who knows and respects her when she walks into that office.”
Maribeth Knight followed her father, Richard, into the medical profession. She is a graduate of Michigan State University’s
College of Osteopathic Medicine and practices medicine in Livonia, MI. Maribeth is married to Rob Conway and the couple has
two young daughters.
While honored, Maribeth points out that this is much bigger than just one doctor and her patient. “The real story here is that annual
mammograms are not enough,” she says. “Performing monthly self breast exams and receiving annual breast exams from your physician
will go a long way in the screening and early detection of breast cancer. That’s the big picture here.”

The Detroit regional Sisters of Mercy began a new chapter in history on July 1, 2008. The sisters have joined five other regional
communities to become the Sisters of Mercy West Midwest Community.
The WMW community includes 900 Sisters of Mercy and over 500 Associates of Mercy from the former communities of Auburn,
California; Burlingame, California; Omaha, Nebraska; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Chicago, Illinois; and Detroit, Michigan. While the WMW
central offices are in Omaha, the community continues to maintain an office in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and sisters, associates
and companions in Mercy remain steadfast in an active presence where they are
currently serving.
In response to today’s needs, the Institute of the Sisters of Mercy of the
Americas is completing the reconfiguration of 26 regional communities into
six, with the intention of “strengthening and enabling one another in mission.”
Founded by Catherine McAuley in Dublin, Ireland, in 1831, the Sisters of Mercy
are dedicated to serving persons who suffer from poverty, sickness and lack of
education, with a special concern for women and children. The reorganization of
the American communities will better strengthen and enable the works of Mercy
that you care about, including a lasting commitment to Mercy High School .
Secondary schools affiliated with the new West Midwest Community include
Cristo Rey High School in Sacramento; Mercy High Schools in Burlingame,
San Francisco, Omaha, and Farmington Hills; and Mother McAuley Liberal Arts
High School in Chicago. The West Midwest also counts among its sponsored,
co-sponsored and/or affiliated works several colleges, universities, and other
educational ministries; health care systems; spirituality and retreat centers; and
ministries in housing, and care of the elderly. Sisters and associates also serve in
spiritual direction, parish work, social services and advocacy.
The Sisters of Mercy ask your continued support in keeping the mission of Mercy a reality.

mercy's meg mallon
By Linda Karbo Conradi '01
Growing up immersed in a generation in which we have conditioned
ourselves to idolize, emulate, and even obsess over celebrities, athletes
and reality TV stars, it is often difficult to look past the ‘celebrity’ and
truly encounter the ‘reality’ of people. Throughout my blast off into
adult-hood, I have become increasingly aware of the challenge to uncover
positive role models for our even younger generations. Having two nieces
of my own, my senses have become heightened to everything from Teen
Disney scandals to athletes cutting corners to reach the top.
Almost complacent with the fact that this is ‘just the world we live in’,
it is a breath of non-polluted air when someone reaffirms the notion that
quality establishments produce quality people and that there are positive
female role models out there – you might just need to open your high
school yearbook. This past spring, I was reminded why Mercy claims
to develop women who make a difference. Perhaps one of Mercy’s most
genuine daughter’s of success is LPGA darling, Meg Mallon.
The 18th Annual Meg Mallon Golf Outing held last June connected staff,
alums, students, supporters of Mercy, and fans of Meg. While the event
did its job and raised nearly $34,000 for Mercy, I am here to help reveal
the priceless impact that Meg, herself, has on the history of Mercy – her
own impressive legacy and the direction she provides for all ‘Mercy girls’.
Meg’s 1981 classmate and Mercy parent Karen Kluk Rotondo said,
"All of us are alumnae from somewhere. Most of us take pride in serving
our families, our employers and many of us give back to our community.
How did we learn that? It is by example of those who have gone before us.
Meg Mallon is special in that she understands the power of example. For the many
students that volunteer at the outing she is an example of reaching a dream through
persistence, resilience, and hard work. For the staff and teachers who remember Meg,
there must be a sense of pride knowing that in some way, they influenced and helped
a young girl achieve greatness in her chosen profession. Maybe it gives them hope
that another student just like her is sitting in the classroom and they don't know
it yet. For the few of us who know Meg as our classmate, she is a reminder of our
carefree youth. She has risen to a higher mountain -- not to look down upon the
valley but to stand tall, humble and strong; To give back to all who have played a
role in her success and to be an example of service.”
Rejoining the Mercy family as a member of the Staff last year has forced
me to view the school community through new eyes. To watch students
encounter the same traditions I had once captured on a disposable camera,
now cropped and perfected through their own digital lenses, reminds me
that although the manner in which they may encounter Mercy has been
upgraded, the foundation has never shifted.
To be a ‘Mercy girl’ carries a great deal of expectation. To be a woman
who makes a difference encompasses a lifetime of contribution. So as we
continue to plow through this world ruled by pop culture do’s and don’ts,
take a moment here and there to pull out a copy of your Lore yearbook and
appreciate the warm faces smiling up at you. As you remember simpler
times ruled only by modular schedules and whizzing yellow scooters, pause
and appreciate that there are Mercy women, like Meg Mallon, continuing
to lead by example. Are you one of those women?

Honor Roll of Donors
A heartfelt THANK YOU to each of you who support the young women of Mercy High School. The following Honor Roll of Donors
acknowledges and thanks all donors to Mercy’s Annual Giving Program during the fiscal year of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008.
This list includes direct contributions to the Annual Fund, Tuition Assistance Fund, or the Endowment Fund,
as well as those who were inspired by specific programs and philanthropic needs of the school.
We regret that space does not permit listing of everyone’s in-kind gifts, donations and volunteer time to our various fundraisers.
We thank you for your support to Mercy in these other areas.
