Marian Central Friday Focus

It takes a village. Parents, teachers, coaches, priests, family, friends are just some of the people who may be in your village, helping to raise your children.

Your children spend more awake hours at Marian Central Catholic than they do at home each school day. As Teacher Appreciation Week wraps up, we are grateful for the teachers, support staff, and administration who support our students while they are in our care each day. It takes a village.

For our beloved Marian Central Catholic High School, it also takes a village. You are an essential piece to our village, along with our alumni, parents of alumni, and benefactors. From athletic events to performances to fundraising events to tailgates, our amazing community is always prominent. We are so grateful for your support over this school year. You continue to show up in big ways, supporting your children, our faculty and staff, and our school. It takes a village.

It takes a village. And we are blessed to be part of your village and grateful to have you as part of ours!

Marian Central's Annual Golf Outing

Monday, July 29th

More information coming soon.

Marian Central has been selected to host the IHSA Lacrosse sectional competition on Friday, May 24th, which falls on the same evening as our Class of 2024 Graduation Ceremony.

In order to control the traffic flow for all of our guests, we have decided to move the Graduation Ceremony to 6:30 pm instead of 7:00 pm on Friday, May 24th. Graduates should report to the Aux Gym by 5:45 pm in their caps, gowns and stoles and the doors to Landers Pavilion will open at 5:45 pm for seating.

Thank you for your understanding. Please click below for additional information regarding Class of 2024 year-end events.

A message from MBS Book Supply:

As we get closer to the end of the school year, we want to remind you that your families can sell back their print books through the Online Buyback Program. The BNC-Virtual Online Buyback allows families to recoup some of the money they spent on books that they no longer need. Online buyback is a service we provide automatically in the online bookstore https://bnck-12.com/mariancentral, ensuring families have a convenient and easy way to sell back their books anytime, anywhere. Starting a week before the end of classes, families will receive buyback notices that list the books they have purchased from the online bookstore and the sell back price for each. Families can also sell back titles to us that they acquired elsewhere.

With Online Buyback, students:

• Receive competitive prices

• Get free shipping

• Receive their payment via check or PayPal two to four weeks after we receive their books

A quick HOW-TO video for parents: Online Buyback https://vimeo.com/402584705/091cb4acb3

All students must return their Marian issued laptop and charger at the end of each school year after they have completed all final exams. Please click the link below to view additional information.

Mrs. Diamond from the Guidance Office is looking for Marian students/parents to represent Marian as a "Decade" of the Living Rosary taking place at St. Thomas Church in Crystal Lake on Wednesday, May 15 at 6:30 PM. It will only take about an hour of your time and will be a great way to show our Marian pride and devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary.

Please contact her at jdiamond@marian.com if you or your student is interested or have them stop by the Guidance Office. Thank you and God Bless!
