Marian Magazine 60 Years of Empowering Young Women
Welcome, Principal Sullivan, page 6 #MarianInspires, page 17 Marian Honors Alumnae, Community Leaders, page 20 2014-2015 Annual Report Insert
President’s Message Dear Marian Community, What does Marian look like at 60? It is vital, successful and forward thinking. Marian is making a difference in the lives of promising young women. We are grateful to our founders and sponsors, The Servants of Mary, who had the gumption in 1955 to start an all-girls Catholic high school (and a kindergarten) on what was then the outskirts of Omaha. In 1955, women were not typically the builders of schools or the leaders of organizations. However, the Servites were on a mission to make their dream a reality. So, with determination, talent, faith, commitment – and a great deal of elbow grease – they designed, planned, administered, taught, waxed the floors and cared for the grounds. Most importantly, they helped students understand how to live as women of empowerment and compassion, teaching them that using their talents to help others was the best expression of true spirituality. Since the first year of existence, we have grown from a community of 42 first-year students to a thriving and vibrant school of 711 young women. Throughout the past 60 years, Marian has remained steadfast to its mission of providing a Catholic college preparatory education in the Servite tradition of excellence.
Marian students and alumnae are doing inspiring things every day. We want to know, how does Marian inspire you? Share your story on social media using #MarianInspires and visit www.marianinspires.com to learn more.
In our 60th year, Marian continues to grow and produce impressive results. Last May, we sent 143 seniors into the world by way of college, and in August we welcomed 193 freshmen. Nearly 40% of this incoming class received tuition assistance, giving them access to a Marian education that might otherwise not be possible. In addition, our Alumnae Network now boasts 9,100 young women who are lawyers, doctors, mothers, educators, activists, artists and writers. Marian graduates are leaders in virtually every imaginable field and, as a community, we are all richer for their accomplishments. This year marks an important transition in our school’s leadership with the implementation of the president/principal model. We are pleased to have selected one of our alumnae, Susie Spethman Sullivan ’80, to lead us forward in the role of principal. There is no question in my mind that parents will respect Susie’s leadership and appreciate her judgment. Students will enjoy her friendliness and sense of humor. She has already demonstrated that she is thoroughly committed to academic excellence. Susie will foster the Core Values and unique spirit of Marian with enthusiasm and energy. I encourage you to flip to page six for more about Susie. Marian’s promise to empower young women to succeed as confident, independent, thinking leaders is robust and ever evolving to meet the needs of our society. As we celebrate 60 years of excellence in faith-filled learning, we also celebrate you – our parents, alumnae and friends – and your impact on our incredible progress over the years. You ensure a truly bright, limitless future for Marian and our students. For that, I am deeply grateful.
Blessings to you and your family,
Mary Higgins ’69 President

Marian Today
NOW & THEN Sporting their new Marian uniforms, Annie Foley ’19, Macy Salerno ’19 and Jenna Grote ’19 pose for a photo like no other. The three freshmen have recreated a photo they took as kindergarteners in Marian’s Quad following Mr. Baker’s Easter Egg Hunt, a former tradition of one of his Sociology II classes.
Since Marian opened its doors in 1955, the young women who have come and gone have continued to prove themselves as empowered, confident, independent, thinking leaders; today Marian is no different. Our Marian girls are embracing leadership roles in the classroom, on the stage, on the court and in their community.
The 2015-2016 year is off to a great start at Marian. On Aug. 13, freshmen filled the school’s halls in their trademark blue uniforms, launching their four-year journey as Marian girls.

The book introduces the reader to the vibrant community and history of Haiti, tells a riveting story of a teenager’s life in Haiti and shows every aspect of the devastating aftermath of the 2011 earthquake. Students read the book during the summer and discussed it in all World Language classes.
AP SCHOLARS
Recognized for Hard Work and Achievements The Advanced Placement (AP) Program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. Marian had 16 students named AP Scholars and one of those was also named a National AP Scholar. AP Scholar recognition goes to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. The AP Scholars are Kathryn Baginski ‘16, Sarah Cronin ‘15, Alyssa Freeman ‘16, Kathryn Fuxa ‘16, Julia Griffin ‘16, Molly LaFave ‘15, Morgan Leatherman ‘15, Anya Lindholm ‘16, Emma McGill ‘16, Nithali Sridhar ‘16, Kayla Sullivan ‘15 and Emily Worth ‘15. AP Scholar with Honor recognition goes to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken and scores of three or higher on four or more of these exams. The AP Scholars with Honor are Sarah Mullen ‘15 and Anna Slezak ‘16. AP Scholar with Distinction recognition goes to students who receive an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and scores of three or higher on five or more of these exams. The AP Scholars with Distinction are Claire Davis ‘16 and Alexandra Regan ‘15. National AP Scholar recognition is granted to students in the United States who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of four or higher on eight or more of these exams. The National AP Scholar is Claire Davis ‘16.
Six Students Recognized by National Merit Scholarship Program Marian is proud to announce that five seniors – Kathryn Baginski, Claire Davis, Kathryn Fuxa, Emma McGill and Nithali Sridhar – are Semifinalists and Andie Hanus is a Commended Student in the 2016 National Merit Scholarship (NMS) Competition.
Left to right: Kathryn Fuxa ‘16, Claire Davis ‘16, Andie Hanus ‘16, Nithali Sridhar ‘16, Emma McGill ‘16 and Kathryn Baginski ‘16.
The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors. Semifinalists are the highest scoring entrants from each state and about 15,000 will advance to finalist standing. The five Marian seniors join the rest of the 16,000 semifinalists in the competition, vying for over 7,600 National Merit Scholarships (worth about $33 million) that will be offered in the spring. Commended students represent the top five percent of students who entered the 2016 NMS competition. Although commended students do not progress further in the competition for NMS awards, some become candidates for special scholarships sponsored by partner corporations and businesses. The NMS program is a competition for academic recognition and college scholarships. It is open only to college-bound high school students who take the PSAT (Preliminary SAT) in October of their junior year. About 1.5 million juniors from more than 22,000 high schools entered the 2016 NMS program by taking the PSAT in October 2014. #MarianInspires
Mayor of Omaha Sister City Visits Marian On Sept. 22, the Mayor of Naas, Ireland James Lawless and the Chair of the Naas Twinning Group, Tim Mulvihill, joined Mrs. Kim Remmick’s American history class. The two shared history and personal stories of Ireland with the students. Omaha Sister Cities Committee Representative Pat Fitzgerald ’66 was instrumental in his visit to Marian. “Pat told me the last place I needed to visit in Omaha was Marian High School,” said Mayor Lawless. Indeed it was; the mayor left Marian for the airport to begin his journey home. Lawless and Mulvihill were in town for the Omaha Sister Cities 50th Anniversary International Friendship Banquet held Sept. 21 at the Hilton DoubleTree in Downtown Omaha. The event is sponsored by Omaha Sister Cities, which is celebrating its 50-year anniversary. The event drew approximately 200 guests from Japan, Germany, Lithuania, Ireland, Mexico and the U.S. Left to right: Tim Mulvihill-Naas Twinning Group Chair, Alumnae Director Nancy Kettering Casey ‘82, Mayor of Naas, IR James Lawless, Omaha Sister Cities Committee Representative Pat Fitzgerald ‘66, Marian Principal Susie Spethman Sullivan ‘80 and American history teacher Kim Remmick

MARIAN WELCOMES
New Principal It was 7 a.m. and Susie Spethman Sullivan ’80, the new principal of Marian, greeted students and parents on the curb outside as they arrived for the first day of school. “They just kept coming,” said the new principal, who is already giving Marian’s energy a jolt. “And that’s when it hit me. This is the responsibility I have for such a special place.” The way Sullivan views it, she wasn’t a stranger when she took the helm this school year. She already knew the campus. She already knew the school. “Everything is just a bit bigger now.” That’s about all that’s changed since Sullivan roamed the halls as a student.
Following the installation of Mary Higgins ’69 as president in July 2014, a thorough search for Marian’s principal began. The process included input from both faculty and board members. Sullivan will manage the day-to-day operations of the school’s educational programs, while Higgins’s focus is more external as president. “We are so pleased and excited to welcome Susie back to the building,” said Higgins. “She is rooted in Catholic education through her personal experience at Marian. Her personality, enthusiasm and sense of humor will endear her to faculty, staff, students and parents.” Sullivan rejoined her alma mater after 11 years of teaching in the Millard Public Schools District. Her work experience illustrates leadership activities at both the district and building level. Most recently, she taught eighth-grade American history, English and journalism. She served on the district’s RTI+I Literacy Committee from 2011 to 2013 and as chair of the Russell Middle School Principal’s Advisory Committee since 2012.

The new principal graduated from Carroll College in Helena, Mont. where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in History with a minor in English. She received her teaching certificates in Language Arts, 6-8 and Social Sciences, 6-12 from College of St. Mary. She went on to receive a Master of Science in Educational Administration and Supervision from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, with a 7-12 Principal Endorsement and is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Reading. Until recently, few principals would have considered it desirable to spend the bulk of their days in classrooms. Sullivan, on the other hand, has an intense focus on observing classes and being visible to

the students. Through her observations, Sullivan said she’s reaffirmed everything she already knew about Marian: the academics are truly rigorous and the students continue to rise to challenges. “I notice that the students are not afraid to ask questions,” she said. “They email me. They challenge me. We want them to be confident, independent, thinking leaders and, the truth is, they are.” However, there is still work to be done. Sullivan’s goals are in line with those of President Higgins, her counterpart in Marian’s new president/ principal model of leadership. “Marian is already a great school,” Sullivan said. “We have excellent programs in place and we have dedicated faculty and staff; I don’t want that to stop us, though, from continuing to improve. I want us to stay current, stay viable and keep building confident leaders.” With her classroom experience to lean on, Sullivan said she’s making sure the teachers at Marian have what they need to be successful in their work – and that they stick around for a while. “We know effective teachers are crucial to moving our students forward and making sure they are college ready,” said Sullivan. “The faculty at Marian is extremely dedicated. They don’t leave and there’s a reason for that.” Sullivan’s roots with Catholic education run deep. Her four sisters, along with numerous cousins, are also Marian alumnae. In addition, Sullivan has served in many volunteer leadership capacities. She served on the Creighton Prep Parent Board from 2002 to 2013, acting as president from 2005 to 2006. She was also a trustee for the Mary Our Queen Educational Trust from 2000 to 2011. Sullivan and her husband Malachy have been married 30 years. They have three sons, Malachy, Colin and Seamus. Malachy and his wife Sarah have a daughter, Brenna, who is four months. Colin is a student at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and Seamus is a student at the University of Kansas. Sullivan describes herself as a lifelong learner. “Learning is my passion. I am so thrilled to be back and to watch the transformation of young women here. There’s a spirit in the hallway that never really leaves you. It’s a sisterhood you can feel. It really is a special, special place.” “I believe every job I’ve ever had – as a volunteer or employee – has led me to this position,” said Sullivan. It may have even been a case of divine intervention too, as the announcement of her new role was made on the second anniversary of her mother’s death. “My siblings and I all knew that our mom wanted us to celebrate, and stepping into my dream job was a great reason to do that.”
SERVICE & SPIRITUALITY
Students and Servites Celebrate FEAST DAY MASS The annual all-school Servite Mass, in honor of Marian’s sponsoring order, the Servants of Mary, was celebrated Sept. 15. This year’s celebration was especially important, as Marian celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2015-2016. Traditionally, during the month of September, the Servants of Mary celebrate the feast of their patroness, Our Lady of Sorrows, with the Marian community. At the end of the Mass, a commissioning service was held for faculty and staff members. The Servants of Mary commissioned the faculty and staff to join them in their mission of educating young women in the Catholic Servite tradition. The faculty and staff then received a blessing from the Servants of Mary so that they may continue to be a compassionate presence to the world through their ministry of teaching.

Students Share Compassionate Presence with DR Families For the past several years, a group of students has traveled to the Dominican Republic (DR) as part of the Institute for Latin American Concern (ILAC) program. Erin Walter ‘17 (left), Allie Morrissey ‘17 (center) There, they see firsthand and Kaitlyn Baysa ‘17 (right) take a break to play the ethical and moral issues with a few village children in the DR. that confront third world countries. Through their service work, students enhance their leadership skills, discover the impact they have on their community and grow in their faith. This year, 10 more Marian students had the opportunity to live in the campos of the DR. For two weeks, the students lived with host families, painted a church and visited orphanages, refugee camps, sugar mills and beaches. The following students participated in this once-in-a-lifetime service trip: Kaitlyn Baysa ’17 Melissa Bohan ’16 Emma McGill ’16 Allie Morrissey ’17

They serve as companions to children with special needs. They partner with nonprofit agencies in the greater community. In addition, during the week of July 19-25, a group of Marian students headed to the Winnebago Reservation in Winnebago, Neb. to live in solidarity with its people.
Six students, including seniors Clare Crockett, Maggie Reding, Mairin Rochford and Morgan Crockett and juniors Kirsten Meyer and Michaela McLeay, participated in living a simple life for one week on the reservation. The intense service experience provided them with a mix of direct service, opportunities for learning and dialogue, cross-cultural sharing, community building, prayer and recreation. During the mission trip, the Marian students helped prepare for a large Pow-wow the tribe was hosting later in the week. Their days were long as they worked to beautify the grounds by cleaning, raking leaves and pulling weeds in extreme heat conditions. They also made thread bracelets to give to the children they met. The students slept on floors in the parish school at night. Marian Principal Susie Spethman Sullivan ’80 joined the students mid-week. Two students painted the entrance ramp to the Pow-wow grounds. Tribe officials said the ramp had not been painted in five years; the man who used to paint it every year passed away. The students met with the man’s brother, who thanked them for finally updating the ramp and carrying on his brother’s legacy. The students were brought to tears by the honor and pride they felt. A commissioning ceremony was held on July 25 before the students left the grounds. A group named Young Neighbors in Action (YNIA) organized the trip. YNIA offers teens a week of participating in mission, growing in faith, joining in prayer and serving those in need. #MarianInspires

Pope Francis’ Congressional Address Brings Catholic High Schools Together On Sept. 24, Marian seniors and more than 400 other students from eight Omaha-area Catholic high schools visited Creighton University to watch Pope Francis address a joint meeting of Congress. This was the first time a reigning pontiff has ever addressed Congress. Assistant Principal Kathleen Tompkins, President Mary Higgins ‘69, Sr. Joy Weideman, OSM, and American flag donor Scott Bower.
Longtime Servants of Mary Connection Donates Special American Flag To Scott Bower, it was a simple act of kindness – replacing the tattered American flag flying at Marian. What started out as an effort to restore the flag’s honor and glory also ended up teaching an important lesson to the students who pledge allegiance to the flag each day.
Students congregated in the Hixson-Lied Auditorium in the Harper Center to watch live television coverage of the Pope’s address in Washington, D.C., then took part in a virtual question-and-answer session with Nebraska Congressional Rep. Brad Ashford. Personal reflection time and breakout discussions followed with Creighton facilitators, allowing the students to interact with each other. Among the topics of conversation following the address were Pope Francis’ encyclical on the environment “Laudato si’,” his place as the first Jesuit pope, immigration, the economy, the pope’s efforts at bringing people together and other important concerns for Catholic social teaching.
After-School Rosary Group “Pays It Forward” To Servites The Decade Darlings practiced paying it forward on Aug. 27—literally! The afterschool rosary group presented a check to the Servants of Mary, representing the proceeds from a “Free-Dress for Philanthropy” fundraising effort among the student body. The student group, which meets regularly after school in Marian’s school chapel to pray the Rosary, presented a jumbo-sized check to the Servite Sisters in the Our Lady of Sorrows Convent Chapel. To commemorate the special occasion, the students and the Sisters prayed one decade of the Rosary and read a passage from “Fragments of Your Ancient Name: 365 Glimpses of the Divine for Daily Meditation” by Sr. Joyce Rupp, OSM. U.S. Community Prioress Sr. Mary Gehringer, OSM ’66 invited the Decade Darlings back once a month to pray a decade of the Rosary with the Servites. #MarianInspires

Bower, a groundskeeper for the Servants of Mary from 1965-1971, found the flag while preparing for the sale of his late mother’s home. This wasn’t just any flag, though. It belonged to his father, Field Musician Corporal and Bugler Leon E. Bower of the U.S. Marine Corps. Bower says he idolized his father, who enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1942. Originally, he was meant to be assigned to the President’s own Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps in Washington, D.C. but was late in reporting back from leave after training. Instead, Bower said, he was sent overseas with the famed USMC 2nd Division. He spent 27 months in the South Pacific before returning home. When he returned, Bower’s father weighed only 108 lbs. He was honorably discharged in 1945 and laid to rest at Forest Lawn in 1991, following his second heart bypass surgery. He was 69 years old. Bower said the flag had not been unfolded since his father’s burial. A small gathering was held Sept. 18 to raise the new flag over Marian’s campus. Several students watched in awe from their classroom windows. Marian President Mary Higgins ’69, Assistant Principal Kathleen Tompkins and Sr. Joy Weideman, OSM were in attendance. Bower also presented Sr. Weideman with a framed print of the American flag titled “Our Flag.” It will be kept in the Convent. Weideman was the Motherhouse Coordinator at the same time Bower tended the grounds over 45 years ago. #MarianInspires
S E R VA N T S O F M A RY
Compassionate Presence in the Spirit of Mary Dear Marian Community, September 7, 1955 – a dark, rainy morning in a rickety Keystone bus found me headed reluctantly to my first day of high school. I wasn’t excited and I did not want to be there, wherever it was. The bus pulled into a huge muddy drive – no pavement yet – and struggled to get to the front door of this building they called Marian High School. I could see barns, pastures – even cows! The tears flowed when the bus stopped and then slid into the building. What was happening to me? At the door we were met by Sr. Marcella, Sr. Mary of the Holy Cross and Sr. Mary Cecile. They were vivacious, welcoming and excited to see us. They made me feel like I was lucky to be there and they were fortunate I chose to come there - which I didn’t, until that moment. It was that special something that Sr. Marcella consistently referred to as “esprit de corps” that clung to the group and is still there today, mysteriously hovering and making Marian a welcoming place. From that moment I never wanted to leave. “Quality not quantity,” Sr. Marcella proclaimed and 60 some years later, I’d love to show her around and witness her pride. In this, the 60th anniversary of the founding of Marian by the Servants of Mary, I thought it was appropriate to hear the thoughts of someone from the first graduating class. Who better than the first graduate and a Servant of Mary, Sr. Midge Petersen, OSM ’59! She is a proud alum and loyal Marian supporter. From its small beginnings in 1955, Marian is now a school of 710 young women. We have seen tremendous growth, not only in enrollment but also in areas of curriculum, technology, extracurricular activities and development of the core values upon which the school was founded. For 60 years the esprit de corps, now known as the core values, have been instilled into the hearts of Marian administration, faculty, staff and students. We Servite Sisters have staffed and/or sponsored Marian since its inception. We are so very proud of all the school’s and its alums’ accomplishments. Part of Marian’s legacy also shines forth through some of our Sisters who are celebrating Jubilees this October. Of the ten Jubilarians, one was a Marian graduate and four more served at Marian. Congratulations to alumna Sr. Jackie Ryan and Srs. Carolyn Foley, Esther Joyce, Sarah Deeby and Jackie Thorn who served/are serving at Marian in a variety of ways. The other Sisters celebrating Jubilees this year are Srs. Lucy Bottosto, Barbara Bouchard, Carol Claussen and Margaret Buchta. All ten Jubilarians have ministered in the Church for a total of 560 years. They are amazing witnesses and role models for us! A new committee has been formed at Marian called Servite Connections. Marian staff and Servite Sisters are working together to strengthen the bond between the school and the Community. From theology class, Masses and prayer services, letter writing, interviews, lunches together, etc., efforts are being made to ensure that the Servite tradition is known throughout the Marian community. These activities provide excellent opportunities for making certain the Servants of Mary interest, support, connection and sponsorship of Marian continue well on into the future. Thank you for your continued support of our school. Through the intercession of Mary, I ask God’s blessing on you all.

Celebrate Jubilees Jim Bolamperti, owner of Acme Lawn and Tree, volunteered his time and equipment to remove about 35 bushes and stumps. His daughter Laura graduated from Marian in 2010 and his daughter Grace is a junior this year.
Servants of Mary Cemetery Update By: Tom Marasco, Director of Development
The cemetery renovation project has begun! The first steps of the physical work were to remove the row of bushes along the south side of the cemetery fence, then remove the old fence and posts. I want to give special thanks to a few people who volunteered to do these projects at no charge. First, thank you to Jim Bolamperti and ACME Lawn & Tree for removing 30 bushes and stumps. Thank you as well to the Mary Our Queen Men’s Club for removing 500 feet of chain link fence and rails, as well as removing 55 posts and concrete footings. I am happy to announce that Paul Austin Enterprises has been chosen as our general contractor for the project. Paul’s first step for the project is our new entrance wall and piers. The progress on the concrete and mason work has been very exciting for us to watch. The base structures are near completion and the brick masonry will be started very soon. The Sisters are very excited about the plans to make the cemetery a more reverent, peaceful and beautiful part of our campus. They ask for your continued prayers for good weather and safety for the workers. There are still opportunities to make honorary and memorial donations to the cemetery renovation project. All of the benches, lights along the path, many of the trees and plants and the gravesite crosses are some examples of items that can be honorary or memorial donations.
FOR MORE INFORMATION: please contact Tom Marasco at osmdev@osms.org or 402.951.3060.
Members of the Mary Our Queen Men’s Club volunteered their time and equipment to remove the fence and fence posts.
Nine Servants of Mary were honored on Oct. 3 for their dedication to religious life for 50 or more years. Their special day was filled with celebration, beginning with Mass in the Mary Joy and Tal Anderson Performing Arts Center. Surrounded by friends and family, the Jubilarians renewed their vows. Those present responded with words of affirmation and support. The congregation also offered a prayer for strength and peace. “A religious Sister’s Jubiliee is a celebration of her years of vowed life and ministry,” said Sr. Mary Gehringer, OSM ’66, U.S. Community Prioress of the Servants of Mary. “This year’s ten Jubilarians have a total of 560 years of ministry to the Church! We are so very proud they are Servants of Mary and proud, too, of the dedication and witness they have given to their various ministries.”

The Servants of Mary invite the Marian community to celebrate these women with a card shower. E-cards and messages may be sent to osmcomm@osms.org. Please remember to include the name of the Jubilarian in your message. Mailed cards may be sent to the Jubilarian in care of the Servants of Mary, 7400 Military Avenue, Omaha, NE 68134.
Meet Sr. Jackie Thorn, OSM As the new member of the Campus Ministry team and one of two Servants of Mary on staff at Marian, Sr. Jackie Thorn, O.S.M. wants to nurture Marian’s community. “I want students to feel at home on campus,” she says. Sr. Jackie takes her role seriously as a visible Servite presence in the school. Her duties include collaborating with other campus ministry staff to help enrich the spiritual lives of students through organizing retreats, service projects, prayer requests and class liturgies. Before coming to Marian, Sr. Jackie worked at St. Patrick’s Parish in Fremont. She also spent four years working with immigration reformers on a federal grant to establish Good Neighbor, a clinic that now serves underinsured immigrants. She attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 26. Also in attendance was Sen. Ben Sasse. Prior to that, she taught and served as principal at Holy Ghost and Holy Cross grade schools in Omaha and Servite High School in Detroit. She also served as a house parent, working with underprivileged youth at Boys Hope in Detroit. This experience would later shape her role as a school principal.
POP QUIZ GREATEST INSPIRATION:
Sr. Leonarda Quinlivan, OSM, former librarian at Holy Ghost Grade School. I lived across the hall from her at the convent and she watched over me. I always say, I hope I can be like she was — open-minded and funloving. She was great. I think of her a lot. CLAIM TO FAME:
I once saw Nelson Mandela at a hotel in Detroit. It was a moving experience. FAVORITE THING ON TV:
Sr. Jackie earned her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from College of St. Mary and a master’s degree in school administration from the University of Detroit. She took her Servite vows on Sept. 5, 1965 and celebrates her 50th Jubilee this year.
I love to watch sports! I’m a big Detroit Tigers and Lions fan, though I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. I think the Tigers were last in the league this year.
Just as she was called to the Servants of Mary, Sr. Jackie says she felt drawn to Marian. “God was telling me ‘you just can’t pass this up, Jackie,’” she said.
FAVORITE SNACK:
“
I hope that, from knowing me, the students become closer to God. I hope they take in what they can and, eventually, if they do walk away from Jesus, they will come back to Him because of what they’ve learned from me. Even if one stays with Jesus because of their experience with me, that’s a success in my book.
Two words. Dark. Chocolate. FAVORITE HOBBY:

ARTS
I love to cook and eat. I like to spend my down time by entertaining friends. My favorite things to make are apple and rhubarb pies.
All-School Read Inspires Large-Scale Art Project Students in Mrs. Ashley Bauer’s Block F Sculpture class created “tap-taps,” a Haitian form of public transportation on four wheels, which are used in Haiti like shared buses. The name comes from the sound of tapping on the metal side of a bus that signifies a passenger’s request to get off. Each group’s tap-tap had to include an inspirational word or quote. “The lesson teaches them about using everyday or found objects in a new way to create the element of texture,” said Bauer. “They used a variety of acrylic paints and any other materials they can get their hands on to finish their projects.”
Mimi Kelly ‘16, Emily McKenna ‘16, Mary Beth Apker ‘16 and Julia Smith ‘16 collaborate on an installation project.
The finished tap-taps measured four by two feet and were displayed as installation pieces in the Quad throughout the month of September. Before they started the project, Bauer says her students researched installation and environmental artists to understand the concept of this type of art and presented their findings to their classmates.

Freshman Gains Local Recognition for Her Music On Friday, Sept. 4, the Benson Neighborhood played host to a one night festival called First Friday Femme Fest, featuring 22 bands and musicians from the Omaha and Lincoln area. Each band playing that night needed to fulfill one requirement: feature a female in their musical act. This had several bands scrambling to make some hard decisions, but not singer-songwriter Mary Ruth McLeay ’19, who was the youngest performer to take the stage with her guitar and keyboard. Over the past few months, McLeay has been gaining more and more attention as a solo artist. In May, she was named to the top 10 in the Omaha Performing Arts community songwriting competition inspired by the Tony and Grammy-Award winning Broadway muscial “Once.” She also performed at the Gifford Park Block Party in August and on the Scott Voorhees Show on KFAB-AM. The youngest of seven, McLeay says she finds inspiration for her music from her siblings. In fact, her song “Small Paper Bags” was written after visiting her sisters, Megan McLeay Temme ’05 and Katie McLeay Cleveland ’05, while they were in college. McLeay’s dream is to become a professional music artist or a songwriter for a major record label. To get there, her goal is to schedule several open mic performances in Chicago and Nashville to gain even more exposure. Fans can find songs from her demo tape on YouTube. #MarianInspires
Exhibit Work In Local Gallery Several students in Mr. Jeremy Cisco’s and Mrs. Ashley Bauer’s art classes experienced their first exhibition at Gallery 92 West in Fremont, Neb.

Gehringer Gallery throughout the month of September. Friends and family got the first look during an artists’ reception on Sept. 11. The show included several Gold and Silver Key Award winners from the National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Barbara Gehringer ’82 is executive director for Fremont Area Art Association and Gallery 92 West, located at 92 West 6th Street in Fremont.

YOUNG ARTISTS
Marian is excited to announce plans to stage “RAGS” as its 2015 fall musical. Show dates and times are as follows: • Oct. 29 & 30, 2015 at 7 p.m. • Nov. 1, 2015 at 2 p.m. • Nov. 7, 2015 at 7 p.m. • Nov. 8, 2015 at 2 p.m. All performances will be held in the Kish Auditorium inside the Mary Joy and Tal Anderson Performing Arts Center at Marian. “RAGS” the musical is adapted from the book by Joseph Stein (“Fiddler on the Roof”), with music by Charles Strouse (“Annie”) and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell” and “Wicked”). The story follows Rebecca, a Russian Jewish immigrant arriving at Ellis Island with her young son, and their struggle to make a life for themselves in the New World. It is a saga of hope and disappointments, of power and greed, of strength and love combined, with memorable music. Rehearsals began in August. Young male performers enrolled in grades nine through 12 at Omaha-area high schools during the 2015-2016 school year were invited to audition to be considered for casting in several male roles. Only Marian students were considered for female roles. Tickets for the show are available online at bit.ly/MHS_Musical or at the door. For more information, please contact Musical Director Michael McCandless at michaelmccandless@ creighton.edu or Michelle Procopio Delisi ’74 at delisi@omahamarian.org.
Marian Soccer’s DeGeorge Named Head Coach; Bosiljevac Joins Staff As New Assistant
ACTIVITIES
Teresa Virgillito DeGeorge ’92, who spent last season as an assistant coach at Marian, has been named the Crusader head soccer coach. Former Marian standout Monica Bosiljevac ’10 will join the staff as the new assistant coach.
Cheerleader Earns All-American Accolades The Marian Varsity cheer squad and coach Allie Clark had a great showing at the Universal Cheerleaders Association cheer camp in July. The Crusaders received second place in the tumbling/building division and Haley Keenan ’17 was named a UCA All-American! Keenan earned a medal and was invited to London to participate in a celebratory parade.

DeGeorge played on Marian’s varsity soccer team all four years in high school and was named All-State First Team captain during her sophomore and junior years. The Crusaders made state appearances each year, winning the title in her freshman and sophomore years and making it to the final in her junior and senior years. DeGeorge went on to have a successful soccer career at Creighton from 1992-1996 and coached Gladiator club soccer from 1997-2001. DeGeorge currently works as a nurse for the Visiting Nurse Association and runs Marian’s summer soccer camp. She and her husband, Nicholas, have six children.

Toga, Toga! Following a relatively new Marian tradition, Sept. 15 was Toga Night at the Marian home volleyball games. Donning their best makeshift togas, Latin Club students and Latin teacher Mr. Mark Koesters marched to the student section in the East Gym and chanted cheers in Latin. The group also marched down to the home softball game to lead fans in the Marian fight song. Some were much more exacting in carrying out an outfit that was coordinated. For others, a bed sheet, safety pins and binder clips did the trick!
“
In a short period of time, Teresa has demonstrated that she is a top level soccer coach,” said Athletic Director Rochelle Rohlfs. “Coach DeGeorge has proven herself to be highly competitive, and we are very excited to have her continue on our coaching staff in this new capacity.
”
Monica Bosiljevac, a 2010 graduate, will take over as assistant coach. As a junior in high school, Bosiljevac was named to the all-state second team. She earned three letters on the cross-country team, played club soccer for Gladiator Rio and won four state championships. Bosiljevac was an all-Nebraska second-team selection as a senior at Marian. In 2010, she scored the game-winning goal to help lead the Crusaders to the state title. She was recruited by the University of Nebraska-Omaha and finished her college career ranked second on the team in goals and tied for first in assists. Since 2012, Bosiljevac has been involved with Football for the World, a global nonprofit organization devoted to providing new and used football equipment to underprivileged youth.

DeGeorge replaces 2002 Marian graduate Amy Price as head coach. Price announced in June that she would be stepping down from the position to spend more time with family. Price led the Crusaders to the 2014 Class A state championship.

Crusader Named to
ALL-USA Girls Preseason Volleyball Team USA TODAY announced in August that Brittany Witt ’16 was named to the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Girls Volleyball first team for the 2015 preseason. The teams were selected by John Tawa, the founder of PrepVolleyball.com. Players were selected based on overall ability, past performance and quality of opposition. Witt, who recorded 640 good receptions and 52 aces in 2014, joins six other players from across the U.S. to form the team. She also set a state record for digs in a match with 47.

Marian Senior Competes in Top Riding Competition A Marian senior was among the top junior riders in the country competing in the Pessoa/US Hunter Seat Medal Finals in Harrisburg, Penn. on Oct. 11.
All Hail to Marian Softball! It was the top of the seventh inning at the 2015 Class A state softball championship game in Hastings, Neb. on Oct. 16. Marian was down to its final out with bases loaded, trailing Papillion-La Vista 5-4. That’s when Brook Linderman ’17 drove a 1-1 pitch over the fence in right-center field for a grand slam that gave the Crusaders the four runs they needed for a victory – and their first state softball title in school history! The way the Crusaders battled back in the face of adversity is a memory that the players, coaches and fans will never forget. #MarianInspires
MARIAN TRAP Competes in SCTP National Championships
Haley Mick ’16 was one of only two riders from her region to qualify and compete in the Medal Finals, one of the oldest and most competitive equestrian events in the country. The event is comprised of multiple rounds and judged on equitation, or ability to ride, over a course set at 3 feet 6 inches. Mick rode “Check Mate,” a 13-year-old Warmblood and a veteran horse in the competition. “I’m absolutely thrilled to have this once-in-a-lifetime experience to grow as a rider,” said Mick, who has been riding since the age of four. “I’m so thankful to my parents, who have been so supportive throughout all of this, and to my trainer, who pushes me more and more every day.” Mick trains under Mike Bonham at the Elkhorn Equestrian Center. Bonham’s daughter, Kelse Bonham, won the US/ Pessoa Medal Finals in 2009. “As a rookie in this competition, Haley has worked very hard on multiple horses,” said Bonham. “It’s a devotion of time and effort, and she has done a very good job moving up to this level.” #MarianInspires
Members of the Marian Trap team recently received national recognition – with senior Katie Petersen placing second in the ladies’ senior varsity division – at the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) National Championship on July 13-18, 2015.

Five Marian students qualified and competed in this event: Emily Worth ‘15, Anna Vasko ‘15, Katie Petersen ‘16, Allison Zuerlein ‘16 and Sarah Villarreal ‘16. On the first day of competition, Petersen shot a 96, which put her in 11th place. On the second day, Petersen shot a 99.

Principal Susie Spethman Sullivan ‘80 joined students in Marian’s annual student-driven fundraiser, Walk-A-Thon.
Students ‘Level Up’ with Record-Breaking WALK-A-THON FUNDRAISER How do you raise $88,000 to support your school? For Marian girls, it started with a bit of encouragement from social studies teacher Mr. Tom Baker, who dressed as everyone’s favorite ghost-chasing, yellow, pie-shaped character in honor of the 2015 Walk-A-Thon. The theme for the annual student-driven fundraiser was “Walk-a, Walk-a, Walk-a,” inspired by the all-time favorite arcade game PacMan. Luckily, the four-mile course wasn’t a race around a maze and the students finished the route safe and sound.
Marian students set a new record with their fundraising this year, bringing in $158,951 or 180 percent of goal! They surpassed their school goal on the very first collection day, another school record. The senior class was the winner of the class competition, achieving 222 percent of the goal, followed by the junior at 211 percent of goal. A tradition for more than 20 years, Walk-A-Thon is the only student-facilitated fundraiser at Marian. Each class competes against the others to raise the most money. The number of students in each class determines goals. The event’s goal grows each year and encourages the students to be advocates for Marian in helping to fund the costs that accompany the school’s operations. The classes find very creative ways to raise funds. Not only do they ask for sponsorship from friends, family, employers, co-workers, neighbors and even total strangers, they also host bake sales, car washes and garage sales to financially support their school. In addition, 13 local companies sponsored this year’s effort: Palm Beach Tan, Mama’s Pizza, Champions Run, Atchley Ford, Ideal Pure Water, Creighton University, Great Western Bank, Steier & Prchal, LTD, Tussey’s Casual Grill, Mangia Italiana, Midwest Protection Services, Election Systems & Software and Optimized Systems.

Marian Fund Phone-A-Thon Raises Over $120,000 The Marian Fund Phone-a-thon did not miss a beat this fall when student, alumnae and parent volunteers raised more than $120,000 in pledges and gifts over 12 evenings. The event, hosted by Marian Fund Director Sue Lindsey Mickey ’69, resulted in thousands of calls to alumnae, parents and friends of Marian. “Our alumnae and friends play an essential role in Marian’s fundraising efforts. Without their support, it would be impossible to continue to offer educational opportunities to those in need of financial assistance,” said Mickey. “We truly appreciate all of the alumnae and student support. It is an example of the Marian Spirit that holds our community together.” President Mary Higgins ’69 said, “We are very grateful for our continued support from alumnae. If you haven’t given, I urge you all to give now. There is no greater gift than that of a quality Marian education.” The donations will benefit tuition assistance for students. All Phone-A-Thon volunteers were treated to a dinner, snacks and prizes. The following student volunteers made calls for the campaign: Vicky Bongomin ‘18, Madison Brown ‘17, Erica Curtis ‘18 (Student Captain), Maddie Helm ‘17, Jessica Hudson ‘17, Hailey Hutfless ‘19, Amou Majok ‘18, Claire Schneckenberger ‘16 and Emily Schneckenberger ‘19.

80s Era Chair Ann Coyle White ‘81 and volunteer Karen Barrett Jeffrey ‘81
Mark and Tricia Weber:
Extending Their Values W h e n M a r k a n d Tr i c i a Weber chose Marian for their daughters, they made staying connected a priority. “We saw our daughters develop the confidence to take on leadership roles both in and out of the classroom,” Mark said. “We knew this was something worth getting involved in.” Mark and Tricia have four daughters – Nicole Weber Johnson ’98, Jaclyn Weber ’99, Megan Weber Little ’02 and Jill Weber ’05 – who attended Marian over a span of a decade, and one son, Nathan, who attended Creighton Prep. Mark, who serves as a Principal of SilverStone Group, served on the Marian Board of Directors and Board of Trustees. Tricia was chair of Marian Moms, member of the Booster Club and served on countless other parent advisory committees. Together, the couple chaired MarianFEST.
Their commitment to Marian goes beyond volunteer work. Years ago, Mark and Tricia decided to include an unrestricted bequest to Marian in their estate plan. “We want our estate plan to be reflective of things we value the most. Investing in our youth is very important to us. Marian has a proven track record of developing girls into responsible, compassionate, educated, young women. We feel that including Marian in our estate plan is an investment in the future.” When contemplating what type of gift to leave Marian they decided: “We like the idea of providing scholarships to girls who couldn’t otherwise afford a Marian education, but we haven’t limited our gift to scholarships because we trust the administration and board to use the money wisely at the time it’s received.” Leaving unrestricted bequests to Marian provides the administration the flexibility to continue to expand upon their mission. There are also significant tax advantages surrounding charitable bequests. An outright gift to Marian from one’s estate – whatever the amount and whether it is expendable or for endowment – is entirely free from federal estate taxes. A gift on one’s IRA can pass free of income tax. “We spend our lifetimes managing our finances and accumulating wealth,” Mark said. “We should be just as prudent in the distribution of our wealth. It’s important people spend some time thinking about what’s going to happen when they are gone.” He added, “As parents we spend a lifetime teaching our children. An estate plan is ultimately our last lesson for our children. We intend our estate plan to be reflective of things we value the most. Organizations like Marian have played an important role in our lives, and we intend to express our gratitude for the gifts that Marian has given us.” For more information on planned giving, please contact Vice President for Advancement Karen Cimpl Hotz ‘79 at 402.571.2618, ext. 1119 or khotz@omahamarian.org.

The online assortment offers a wide variety of Marian apparel, accessories and home gifts. For your convenience, BLUEtique purchases can now be shipped directly!

Shoppers and fans should also be excited to learn squareup.com/market/marian-bluetique. that the BLUEtique will be moved from the middle of the lower level hallway to a much more visible spot in the Quad. This will make the storefront more accessible to those attending games, receptions and other group events. We will remove a portion of the wall and build externally next to the south side entrance. The expected grand opening is slated for December 2015.
50 Years Later, Marian Graduates Walk Stage at Commencement Marian has a tradition of inviting alumnae who graduated 50 years before to participate in its commencement procession. This tradition continues to grow stronger, as the 50-year reunion is one of the most anticipated alumnae events of the year. This year, the Marian Alumnae Association welcomed the class of 1965, Marian’s seventh graduating class, to the 2015 commencement exercises at the Holland Performing Arts Center. One by one, the Golden Grads walked across the stage in front of 143 soon-to-be alumnae and their guests; they each received a rose from Sr. Mary Gehringer, OSM ’66, President of Marian High School, Inc. and U.S. Community Prioress for the Servants of Mary.
BLUEtique Internship Program Offers Hands-On Experience Four interns began working in the BLUEtique in the summer, under the direction of the BLUEtique Manager Toni McCarthy Compton ‘86: Kathryn Fuxa ’16, Tehra Finn-Jackson ’17, Carly Peterman ’17, and Madison Brown ’17. The internship has allowed these students to gain hands-on experience in many facets of business – from sales and visual merchandising to marketing and store operations. Throughout the school year, the students will develop an understanding of how retail business works and what it takes to excel. The interns assist with working in the BLUEtique for special events, games, evening and weekend sale events. With their help, the BLUEtique is able to be open more often and more accessible to the Marian community. Pam Finn, President of Creative Enterprises, Inc., has volunteered to work with the interns on a special product design project. Over the summer, the interns met with her to learn the scope of creating and producing a custom limited edition sale item for the BLUEtique. They started at the drawing board designing, choosing fabric and materials. The fruit of their labor is a trendy phone wallet, which arrived in store on Sept. 23. The interns are also working on a marketing strategy to promote the sales of their product.
The annual Golden Grad commencement procession is the cherished capstone to the 50-Year Reunion weekend, which was held May 15-17 this year. Ollie the Trolley provided the transportation to and from graduation, one of the many highlights of the weekend. Friday began with a Mass at the Our Lady of Sorrows Chapel, followed by tours of Marian and a cocktail reception. Saturday featured a reunion brunch and dinner. “The weekend so far exceeded my expectations that I can’t really put it into words,” said Eileen Reilly Buzzello ’65. “Until this weekend, I didn’t realize how strongly my time at Marian with these women shaped my life. I was struck by the fact we were not only given a great classical education, but we were also infused with the principle that we are more than ourselves - that we must serve others in order to be whole. As I listened to everyone’s stories this weekend, it was obvious we took those lessons to heart - all of them. I couldn’t be prouder of our Class of 1965.” These women have modeled their lives after Mary and stand faithfully for the values of Marian and the charism of The Servants of Mary. The school may have changed since they were here, but the spirit of Marian remains the same. The Marian community recognizes these women as leaders, the ones who established Marian on its course for excellence for young women today.

Each Friday, the students, teachers and staff of Marian offer a special prayer for those who are suffering from any kind of pain, illness, or loss and for those who have asked us to pray for them. We pray for those Marian alumnae and members of their families who have died and now experience the joy of resurrection. Following this, we say together the Memorare. You may join us in spirit each Friday at 8 a.m., and you will know the power of praying together in community.

GIVE CONFIDENTLY TO MARIAN Without the generous gifts of our supporters, Marian would not be able to continue the tradition of educating and empowering confident, independent, thinking leaders. We are grateful and hopeful that the Marian community will continue to work together to provide a unique and powerful education for young women. Each year, we focus on the theme of confidence and how Marian empowers each young woman to be confident in her own unique abilities. By contributing financially or by volunteering your time, energy and talents, you are demonstrating your confidence in Marian’s ability to carry out its mission. Here are just a few ways you can contribute to Marian.
The Marian Fund
Marian Society
The Marian Fund is a great way to show your support for Marian and its current and future students. A tax-deductible gift to this annual fundraising effort makes a profound and immediate impact on today’s Marian girls. The Marian Fund supports leading-edge technology upgrades, both in and out of the classroom; enriches our superlative academic, spiritual and leadership programs; underwrites professional development opportunities for our staff; and provides tuition assistance to our students in need.
The Marian Society honors those who wish to guarantee that Marian’s vital and powerful mission will continue through carefully planned estate or deferred gifts. This is your opportunity to join those who have chosen to sustain the educational spirit of the Servants of Mary and reaffirm the mission of Marian. Planned or deferred gifts are designed to help donors enhance their estate planning, tax planning, investment objectives and retirement needs while helping to ensure the future growth of Marian. All gifts and donations to Marian enable the school to provide much-needed scholarships and financial aid and furnish support for faculty enrichment.
MarianFEST MarianFEST (Funding Education in the Servite Tradition) is an annual benefit dinner and auction held each February. All proceeds from this night of camaraderie and fundraising help Marian provide the best educational experience for the young women of Omaha and the surrounding areas. You may help underwrite FEST as an individual or corporate sponsor by providing in-kind gifts for the oral and silent auctions or by simply attending this incredible event.
Lexus Champions for Marian Golf Tournament This annual event is held each July and is part of the Lexus Champions for Charity Golf Series. The tournament, like MarianFEST, also provides funding to support Marian’s superlative academic and extracurricular programs. You may show your support for Marian as a golfer or sponsor of this event.
Spotlight on Our Future The final component of Marian’s third capital campaign is the building of the new Mary Joy and Tal Anderson Performing Arts Center. This facility, which opened in August 2013, houses a 400-seat theater, dance studio, instrumental music room, and a gallery to display student artwork. Opportunities for support exist at every giving level.
Marian Moms Volunteer Program The purpose of the Marian Moms Volunteer Program is to engage parents, families, alumnae, and friends of Marian to share their time, talents and treasure to advance the Servite tradition and encompass the charism of the order of the Servants of Mary – devotion to Mary, compassion, service, and community. All of these opportunities come to fruition only with the help of our volunteers. You are our Most Valuable People and your dedication and involvement keep Marian on top, turning our young women into confident, independent, thinking leaders. You are appreciated!

Dear Marian Supporters, Marian is a community of which we can all be very proud. In the 60 years since the Servants of Mary first opened the doors to Marian, our growth and success under their sponsorship have been nothing short of phenomenal. As Chair of the Marian Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to report to you Marian’s strong financial position. Growth in fundraising, endowment, finances, enrollment, facilities, academics, spirituality and service all came about because many people, especially the Servites, have sacrificed so much and worked so hard together. This annual report serves as a brief snapshot of the advancement efforts and accomplishments of 2014-2015. None of these accomplishments would be possible without generous benefactors like you, whose support helps to keep Marian at the forefront of Catholic education, and the efforts of the faculty and staff, who are commissioned by the Servites to carry on their charism. Last spring, for instance, we sent all 143 of our graduating seniors on to higher education. These students were accepted to some of the finest colleges and universities across the nation and earned $15.8 million in scholarships. Athletically, we won two team state championships, which brings our total to 59 titles. In the arts, Marian was one of only seven schools in the country selected by Disney to pilot and perform “The Little Mermaid” on stage as its fall musical. Finally, our students completed more than 10,000 hours of non-required service work in the community, benefitting those in need. Additionally, Marian has enjoyed a long history of fiscal security and an audit process that has verified that the Business Office and Finance Committee have been good stewards of Marian’s resources. Marian’s annual operating budget is $8.5 million; 87% of the budget is funded by tuition, and the remaining 13 percent is funded by your charitable donations to The Marian Fund, MarianFEST, Lexus Champions for Marian Golf Tournament and our student-driven Walk-A-Thon. Your gifts of time and talent make an impact on the mission of Marian. Your gifts of treasure allowed us to provide nearly half of our student body with more than $900,000 in tuition assistance in 2014-2015. There are so many reasons to be proud of Marian. As an alumna and parent of an alumna, I feel not only pride but also much gratitude to everyone who has contributed in any way to Marian’s 60-year success. Inspired and blessed by the commitment of our benefactors, and the success of our young women whose lives are transformed as a result, we look forward to another prosperous 60 years of bringing hope to the world.
In gratitude,
Doreen Finochiaro Griffith ’79 Board Chair

MARIAN FUND Marian’s Giving Circle Program When you make a gift to The Marian Fund, not only do you immediately make a difference in the lives of Marian girls, you also become a valued member of one of eight Giving Circles. Eight amazing women of the Church were chosen to represent each different giving level. Just as Marian empowers girls to succeed as confident, independent, thinking leaders, the women of Marian’s Giving Circles are examples of leadership in their own right. They devoted their lives to their faith, the betterment of their communities and improving the lives of others. Marian is humbled by their example and is proud to have so many generous benefactors align with their mission and vision for the future.

Completed Senior Class Gifts
The Senior Class Gift Pledge, which began in 2007, offered a unique opportunity for our graduating seniors to “pay it forward” and make a lasting impression at Marian. The Senior Class Pledge is part of the annual giving program, The Marian Fund and is designed to encourage and inspire graduating seniors to continue sharing their resources with Marian. Because almost half of Marian students graduate with help from tuition assistance, the Senior Class Gift Pledge is a way for students to say ”thank you” and directly impact their peers, schoolmates and future Marian girls. A gift to the Senior Class Pledge, a pledge of $75 over a five-year period, is the first step toward the transition from student to alumna. We are grateful to these alumnae for fulfilling their Senior Class Gift Pledge during the 2014-2015 fiscal year.

LIFETIME GIVING
Marian teaches six Core Values inspired by the Servants of Mary, our sponsoring order. These Core Values are reflected in the halls, the classroom, during competition—athletic, artistic, and academic—and at home. Individuals who have committed their resources to Marian in the amount of $50,000 and more during their lifetime are recognized in the giving circles below, which are each named after one of these important values. (Please note that giving levels reflect cash contributions that have been received before May 31, 2015 under special projects and campaigns. Outstanding pledges and raffle ticket purchases are not reflected in the total.)
