Happy Friday from the GMA Today broadcast team! After a very short week back to school, we’re already looking towards the weekend.

It’s National Teacher Appreciation Week! The GMA Parents’ Org, the Class of 2021 and entire school recognized our teachers and staff this week with some treats and kind words. Faculty and staff have been loving their treats and today's boxed lunch was great!

Yesterday's Student Retreat Day was the perfect conclusion to the season of Lent. The 7th grade showed the leadership that we can look forward to next year as they led the Stations of the Cross and also presented the Passion Play.

Mac McAuley goes on an Easter Egg Hunt around campus! He's so smart finding all this eggs!

We are Mercy May Recess Pop-ups! Day one - Lemonade, beach balls and a chance to make a card for someone you care about. Overheard: "This is the best recess ever!" Thanks to the GMA Parents Org!

No worries about dinner tomorrow! Ditch the kitchen and head over to Fireside Bar & Grille in Ambler at 1211 S. Bethlehem Pike for eat-in or takeout! 20% of proceeds will be donated. Visit for lunch or dinner on Tuesday, May 4, 11:30 AM 9 PM!

The Easter Egg Hunt fun continued with grades K-3 as they took their egg searches very seriously!

Our youngest students kicked off the Easter Egg Hunt with a visit from a good friend of the Easter Bunny. These kids are ready for the big day - they were blazing fast filling those baskets.

Our 2nd graders celebrated the Sacrament of First Reconciliation this week. Their solemn and faith-filled approach to this special moment was beautiful to see.

Introducing our intramural flag football champions: GMA Browns defeated the GMA Eagles in 4 overtime periods to take the victory.

Oreo vs. Chocolate Chip Cookie - there's an election we can all get excited about! Kindergarten students learned about the voting process in their classrooms today. And the winner is....Chocolate chip in KG and Oreo in KM - both close races.

Get inspired for a healthy Halloween by our 5th grade Creative Thinking Skills students!

Happy almost Halloween! We hosted first ever Big/Little Brother/Sister activities via Zoom on our Halloween Dress Down Day. Each homeroom, from Pre-K (4) to 8th grade was paired with another and they enjoyed virtual introductions and worked on their GMA Student Council - sponsored mask craft.

We hosted Sibling Legacy Day this week - already looking towards welcoming the kindergarten class of 2021-2022! This outdoor Halloween-themed event was fun for everyone. Who doesn't love meeting a superhero?

In another way that we are adapting to new circumstances, the kindergarten students had a Zoom visit with the retired Sisters of Mercy at McAuley convent. The introduced themselves and entertained the Sisters virtually this year instead of their usual field trip. The tools of technology are truly a gift during these times when we can use them to connect with each other. #GMAMakesMercyReal

How cute is this first grader? Designing a pumpkin catapult is the kind of creative, hands-on STEM project that our teachers execute routinely in GMA classrooms. Thanks Mrs. Cannon for the fabulous interview with Matthew.

Congratulations to our Class of 2021 National Junior Honor Society Inductees! You are wonderful representatives of GMA and Character, Leadership, Service and Scholarship.

Congratulations to Ella Gross, GMA '17, now a senior at GMAHS! Ella received acceptances at all three military service academies and has committed to the United States Air Force Academy. She looks forward to competing on the swim team, as well as going in another direction, and learning to fly!
