Mercy Montessori to expand pre-school
Mercy Montessori School will add an additional pre-schoolkindergarten classroom in the fall of 2010. Mercy Montessori is home to 250 students, pre-school through the eighth grade.

Each year the Ohio Center for Law Related Education hosts the annual statewide Mock Trial competition for High School teams. Ohio runs the second-largest Mock Trial competition in the nation. This year, 22 Hamilton County high schools sent 48 teams to compete in the Hamilton County District Competition to earn a chance to move on to Regionals. Nearly 400 students and more than 100 faculty coaches and legal advisors were involved. Only 14 of the 48 teams who competed won both rounds and advanced to the Regionals. For the fifth consecutive year one of Summit County Day’s teams advanced. Summit Silver not only won both rounds but was one of eight teams to receive a winning score from all three judges in their court room for both rounds.
The Summit Silver team consists of four attorneys (Alex Finch, Kyle Gundrum, Charlie Michel, Isabelle Saldana), four witnesses (Vincent Tamer, Carolyn Boyce, Rachel Argo, Alex Marcellus) and one timekeeper (Amna Fazlani). Additionally, several students on all three Summit teams won individual awards in their trials. Outstanding Attorney awards were given to Andre Rouillard, Michel and Saldana. Outstanding Witness awards were given to Kelsey Frenck, Boyce and Cooper Schreibeis. The Summit Mock Trial Program is run by Upper School teacher Kelly Cronin. Five local attorneys serve as legal advisors. They are: David Nenni of Dinsmore & Shohl; Rebecca Wright of Javitch, Block and Rathbone; and Chris Wiest, Tony Hornbach and Joe Russell of Thompson Hine, LLP.
