Marian Central Friday Focus
291st Issue - April 19, 2024
From the Desk of Mr.Benji Winkelman
TIME - It’s a fundamental concept we use to measure and organize various events. From the ticking of a clock to the changing of seasons, time influences nearly every aspect of our lives. There is clock time, calendar time, a time to plant crops and a time to harvest. There is historical time which helps us understand cultural changes and the evolution of societies. Tech time: when we use time stamps on emails, social media, and digital files to track when events occurred. Then there is religious time such as the seasons of Lent, Easter, and Christmas just to name a few.
There are many ways we use the word time; there is bedtime, dinnertime, springtime, breaktime, part-time, gametime, primetime, showtime, no-time and plenty of time. Tonight, it will be Time for Prom. A rite of passage for every Junior and Senior and a significant milestone in a student’s high school experience. It's a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime, from posing for formal pictures at the promenade to dancing the night away with friends. I hope that all of you will have a safe and fun evening and that the memories you make tonight will be Timeless.
Make good choices.

College Scholarship Reporting - Deadline Extended
Friendly Reminder and Deadline Extended Regarding College Scholarship Reporting for Honors Day Recognition:
Thank you to those who have already reported your college scholarships to Mrs. Diamond per her email sent to all senior parents and students on March 22. The deadline to submit has been extended to Monday, April 29. Please email Mrs. Diamond at jdiamond@marian.com any merit scholarships that your student received from ALL schools they were admitted to, even if they are not attending those schools. Also, if your student received a scholarship from an outside organization, please inform her of those as well. If you are notified of additional scholarships after the final deadline, please still send them to Mrs. Diamond so they can be included with the total scholarship amount for this Class of 2024.
You can scan/take pictures of the scholarship letters or enter the information directly into the email. Whatever is easiest for you! Thank you!

Students and staff can stop by between 7:30 and 8:00 am on select days.
Uniform Drive
Our National Honor Society will be hosting their annual uniform giveaway and book sale in June and all donations are greatly appreciated. If you have uniform pieces that you would like to donate, please drop these off in the office so that they can be made available at our event in June (exact date tbd).
Seniors - we especially ask that you recycle so that incoming families can benefit from your generosity. To make it more convenient, there will be a collection area on Honors Day, Monday, May 20th, for families to drop off uniform pieces that they are able to donate.
Thank you for you generosity!
