Greetings!

Spring is in the air! That means graduation season is upon us. Honor the graduates of Marian Middle School by making a tax deductible contribution to the virtual graduation fund. Donations will go toward our Graduate Support Program which gives graduates the financial, emotional and social assistance they need to succeed in high school, college and beyond. Thanks so much for your continued support.

School Happenings: Iron Chef and Media Podcast
Frances Dolan Holloran Culinary Arts Program The Frances Dolan Holloran Culinary Arts Program focuses on balanced nutrition, healthy lifestyle choices and food preparation.  In addition to installing a community garden to grow the necessary items used in the weekly student-led "Iron Chef" competitions, the MMS students took to the streets to record their first podcast and document their success to date. Also, check out the recent feature in the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
Graduate Spotlight
KimaiyaMMS graduate, Kimaiya Hall, will get the chance of a lifetime - to be on MTV! Kimaiya is a sophomore studying dance at Central Visual and Performing Arts High School. Kimaiya's friend, whom the show is actually about, will audition to be a singer and Kimaiya auditioned to be one of her dancers - and made it! We congratulate Kimaiya on living out her dreams and wish her all the best.
