MCCHS FRIDAY FOCUS
Pilgrims on the Way of Truth
17th Edition January 20, 2017
We are putting the finishing touches on our annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week (Jan. 30th - Feb. 3rd) and cannot wait to celebrate the All County Mass scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 2nd at 10:00 am in Landers Pavilion. All are welcome to attend this wonderful celebration of faith!
Tonight, be sure to join us for Coaches vs Cancer Boys Basketball games! It's going to be quite a turn-out, and all money raised will help fight this terrible disease that has affected so many within our community. Don't forget to wear purple in support!

PROM DRESS SHOPPING?
Even though we are months away from the big event, many of our junior/senior young women are already shopping for that perfect evening gown! We felt it would be helpful to all if you had this PROM GUIDELINE to help determine acceptable dress for this formal event. Most high schools in the area have created very similar guidelines, so this helps create a consistent message across our entire community.
In the coming weeks, we will be visiting the Junior/Senior classrooms to go over these guidelines in detail with our students- but we felt it important to share this with you early enough for the shopping trips!
Do you live in McHenry? Can you help with a carpool next year?
We still are in need of a family to help with a carpool for a family new to Marian! The Admissions Office has an incoming freshman family for the 2017-2018 school year that would like to connect with a carpool to provide a ride to and from school. The family lives just off Rt. 31 in McHenry. Please contact Mike Maloney at (815) 338-4220 ext. 108, or email at mmaloney@marian.com if you may be able to help. Thank you!
