Marian Central Friday Focus

Happy Spring!

Although the weather has been a bit of a roller coaster, it is amazing how quickly we all get out of our ruts and our attitudes change for the better when the weather starts improving! Students and staff seem to have more smiles on their faces and a little more spring in their step (could it be because the end of the school year is fast approaching?) 😊

There are many exciting events occurring at our school this spring, including outdoor sporting events, our spring musical (which was absolutely fabulous!), and spring break. Once back from spring break, time will seem to move at warp speed! For all of our students and staff alike, there is a realization that as much as we are looking forward to the end of the school year, we still have two months of curriculum to get through! It’s a balancing act… focusing on learning while still wrapping up various retreats, participating fully in our sports, clubs, and organizations, and even getting ready for prom. Students are realizing that if they haven’t already, it’s really time to pull it together and end the school year putting their best effort forward… but it’s hard!

I am hoping that our students know that they have a support team here at Marian. Whether it be their individual teachers, their advisory teacher, their counselor, an administrator, or office staff that they have grown closer to, students should know that we all have their backs and will do anything necessary to help them… AND help them help themselves too! And parents, don’t let your students dig themselves into a hole with absences, missing assignments, and lack of studying, that they feel that they no longer can dig out of that hole. We are here to help, so please call or email us and we will work out a plan for your student’s success!

This time of year, there is certainly a mix of excitement and apprehension… not just for our seniors, but all of the students. Fortunately, we at Marian Central Catholic have a built-in regulator in which to offer-up our worries and anxieties… our faith in God. As we wrap up the Lenten season, I pray that our students will take hold of their faith and find the courage and grit necessary to complete this school year in a strong and confident way. Have a wonderful Spring Break and a glorious Easter…

Blessings to you and yours as we wrap up the last quarter of this school year.

Happy Spring! We have officially kicked off the Spring Sports Season. To make the Spring Season the most successful as possible, the MC Boosters will require a lot of volunteer help. All Spring sports volunteer opportunities have been posted on our volunteer tracking system, called Track It Forward. The link is below. We would appreciate any help that you could provide.
