Greetings!
It has been a busy and exciting summer for our Marian girls. They enjoyed some cool camps during the hot summer months giving them a chance to explore college life, enhance study skills, volunteer and test their ingenuity. Thanks so much for your support in providing these unique opportunities to our students.
Summer Camp

MMS Girls at Ranken
- MMS girls spent two weeks at the Washington University YMCA Camp where they learned about specific majors and campus life.

- Students excelled at Ranken Adventure Academy sampling technical careers such as carpentry, web design, glass beads and jewelry making, environmental jobs, auto-body work and metal welding. Thanks to our Marian Magic donors who made this possible!

- At SASE "Show me" Science and Art Summer Experience, Marian girls learned about ecosystems and outdoor habitats.

- "Marian Plunge" participants volunteered their time at St. Vincent de Paul Society thrift store, St. Elizabeth's Adult Day Care, Our Lady's Inn, and South Side Day Nursery. Click to read more ...
