MCCHS FRIDAY FOCUS
103rd EDITION: February 8, 2019
Pilgrims on the Way of Truth
There is a Season for Everything...
We've had quite a buffet of weather these past two weeks, haven't we? Deep snow, brutal polar vortex temperature drop, freezing rain, with tiny peeks of sunshine here and there. Most importantly, we wish to keep our students and staff safe during this extreme weather; however, we realize how this has turned our events calendar upside-down! We are slowly catching up with all our cancellations!
We'd like to give a special shout-out to the Winter Musical for their determination that the "show must go on" this coming weekend! This talented group of students, directors, and parents have been working around the clock to bring us all an outstanding show - so we hope you're able to bring your family to see Seussical the Musical this weekend!
We are thrilled to let you all know, too, that we are in the process of interviewing several amazing candidates for the Head Varsity Football Coaching position! We are confident that we will find the perfect fit for our beloved school, and carry on the wonderful tradition of coaching excellence that we have been blessed with at Marian Central.
The one thing we have learned from such harsh winter days...they don't last long! Spring, growth, warmth: all will return! Through every kind of day - please know you are in our prayers, and we thank God for the gift of our students!

College Information Night
WHEN: Thursday, February 28th from 6:30-9:00 PM (Check in begins at 6:00 PM, Program begins at 6:30 PM)
WHERE: Marian Central Catholic Theatre
WHAT: An opportunity to learn about starting a college search, financial aid, and choosing a major. Students and families will also attend a question and answer session about college admission with a panel of college admission officers.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors and their parents/guardians are invited to attend this program. We strongly encourage juniors and their parents/guardians to attend College Information Night. We’ve put together a comprehensive program we’re confident will provide students and their families with insight into some of the most complicated and confusing parts of the college search.
We ask that those planning to attend this program please register online at: https://goo.gl/forms/pgZWJF5z8ye4jaQg1.
Please direct any questions about College Information Night to Mr. Stamatakos (jstamatakos@marian.com) or Mrs. Diamond (guidance@marian.com).
We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, February 28th!
Sincerely,
The Marian Central Catholic Guidance Staff
End of Year Calendar EXTENDED to May 31st for 9th - 11th Grades
Please plan your summer travel plans accordingly, as 9th through 11th grade final exams will take place May 29, 30, & 31st. The GOOD NEWS is that, should additional snow days be needed, it WILL NOT add any more days to the end of the year! It is absolutely guaranteed that the last day will be May 31st. (So go ahead and book that travel for June 1st!)
We will have a more detailed calendar published soon for everyone! It's been a while since we've had to use the "full extension" with our calendar!
