MCCHS FRIDAY FOCUS
61st Edition: February 2, 2018
Pilgrims on the Way of Truth
A special thank you to our hosting school, Sts. Peter and Paul in Cary! We extend our deepest gratitude to Principal Strong, Assistant Principal Edwards and their talented faculty for all the planning and preparation that made this wonderful event such a great success! To all deanery administration and faculty - we are extremely blessed for all that you do. Marian Central is a thriving, vibrant Catholic school community thanks to all your faith, care, and dedication with every one of your students.
As part of this year's celebration of Catholic Schools Week, MCCHS students and all our amazing deanery schools hosted a Winter Coat Drive! Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our deanery schools and Marian students, our clubs Catholics in Action, Friends of Rachel, and National Honor Society were able to collect hundreds of cold-weather items that are being sorted for delivery to St. Vincent de Paul in Huntley!

Calling All Seniors: It's Time to Submit Your BABY PHOTO!
Dear Marian Senior Family,
It is the time of the year where the yearbook, The Memorare, is collecting baby photos of the Senior class. Photos should be appropriate and tend to be between ages 6 months-2 years. We ask that these photos be clear and scannable.
Senior students will be turning in their baby photos to their English teacher. We will return these photos in the same condition, we just ask that the following information is provided on the back of the photo:
- Student’s printed FULL name
- English Teacher’s Name & Class Period
*You May also email a clear JPEG File of the scanned baby photo to kgallagher@marian.com. Please include your student’s full name with the email.
If your student(s) chooses not to submit a photo, he or she will have no smaller photo next to their official portrait. The space will simply be left blank. To guarantee every Senior has a photo, we ask that students bring their photos in NO LATER than Thursday, March 8th, 2018
We will return the photos once they have been successfully scanned into our system.
Should you have any questions, please contact Miss Gallagher (kgallagher@marian.com). We look forward in creating a lifetime of memories for the Class of 2018!
Sincerely, The 2017-2018 Memorare Editors, Advisers, and Staff

Doing any DRESS SHOPPING?
PROM -FORMAL (April 27th - Juniors and Seniors only) Gowns and Tuxedos are the typical attire for this event. Again, with dresses, since there are so many selections out there - it is important that our school's conservative attire is respected.
Society (and the media) may be tempting our young men and women to dress and behave far beyond their age - but we have to do our best to protect the age they actually are. Thank you for always partnering with us in this effort to prepare them for adulthood, while still honoring and protecting their age.
We hope you find this Semi/Formal Dress Guideline helpful!
All announcements, schedules, and forms are published on our Marian website for your convenience! After any new announcements are broadcast via email, we make sure we post a permanent link to the information on our website for your reference.
