Pilgrims on the Way of Truth
We celebrate our official "50th Edition" of our Friday Focus! As a new administrative team, our goal was to provide our families with a convenient, concise resource to help plan the following week and have quick access to resources. All of our past editions have been stored on our
school website, should you ever want to reminisce! In a way, these newsletters have become our weekly diary of our school. We have shared joyous times and heart-breaking news. We have reflected on what matters to us as a school community. Every newsletter is written with love, care, and concern. We are parents too, and we know your calendars are packed. We hope that this resource has provided just what you need to balance your schedules.
Through this weekly newsletter, school website, daily school announcements, our increased social media presence, as well as the quarterly Principal's Parent Coffees and Student Forums, we continually strive to strengthen our connection to our families and students. Thank you to all who have generously shared your time, talent, and ideas with us! Together, we are making Marian Central better for our students!

CONDUCT & EXPECTATIONS:
This day is about our children. We are there to support our athletes and we could not be more proud of our students for their accomplishments. We ask that all cheers remain positive and that we keep this game in perspective, no matter the outcome. Since this is an IHSA event, there will be no all-stadium prayer.
Celebrating Quarter 1 OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT!
Attention all MC Alumni!
We have recently partnered with PCI, a company that will be updating our alumni and community database. They will be sending out postcards in the mail and we ask you to please look for them in your mailbox and update your information as soon as you have a chance. The purpose of this project is to avoid people missing information they need, deserve, or want. It is our goal to have everyone's correct information in our database.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and if you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lori Hirsch at lhirsch@marian.com.
