One way we accomplished this during the 2013-2014 school year was through our school-wide theme, “It Begins with Me.” The theme 2014 was a timely and powerful message. Our students explored the theme discussing integrity, being a servant, initiative, courage, grit, hospitality, valuing differences, OUR VISION personal responsibility, and charisma.

Mary Elizabeth Grimes 4 President 2013–2014 Message from the Principal Staff Members

Mary Elizabeth Grimes, President Greetings, Christy Toben, Principal The end of the school year is always a great Stephanie Airaghi time for both celebration and reflection. Elise Bussmann As Marian Middle School embarks upon a milestone anniversary during the 2014-2015 Dianne Decker school year, we thank God for the ways that Kathleen Fox we’ve been blessed by our shared mission. Jessica Graham We are thankful for the long list of young Marvin Harrison women who have been supported through our academic, enrichment, and graduate Gabrielle Hearn support programs, and the 4,827 donors who invested in the power Sarah Heger, CSJ of transformative education since the inaugural school year. We have remained faithful to the founding vision of the women who began this Maggie Klonsky school. These are things worth celebrating. Heather Olson As I reflect on Marian Middle School’s journey, I am humbled and Sarah Paulsen amazed by how far we have come. When I first came to Marian ten Barbara Roche, SL years ago, we were located on a rented second floor of St. Anthony of Padua’s campus. I was the volunteer English teacher through the Kaitlyn Sanders Gateway Vicentian Volunteer program, and living temporarily with the Pearl Scheve Daughters of Charity down the street. My fifth grade class had three students: Jalisa, Ta’Nya, and Spencer. There were no computers in the Andréa Sykes classroom and our textbooks were from 1989. Our Marian Magic fundraiser happened in the basement of the church hall, where our faithful donors came to sit on folding chairs and eat off of the plastic plates our students had set out for them. 2013–2014 Service Volunteers Through the sacrifices of many, our school has built a reputation of excellence in the St. Louis educational landscape. Our mission is still Sarah FitzGerald, the same, but enrollment is close to capacity. Our student body, though Jesuit Volunteer Corps still small by design, grew from 14 students during the first school year to 72 students during the 2013-2014 school year. Tim Grosch, Ignatian Volunteer Corps On behalf of our students and their families, thank you. Thank you for Brianna O’Connor, giving our St. Louis region such a special place to work and learn. Jesuit Volunteer Corps Kate Stroble, Sincerely, Ignatian Volunteer Corps

15 Years of Educating Girls for Life

It all started in 1998 with the opening of an all-boys school. Loyola Academy was the first NativityMiguel model school to open in St. Louis. The Jesuits founded NativityMiguel model schools in the early 1970s to serve low-income, at-risk students by employing longer school days and years, small class sizes, and high expectations. When news of the school spread, Foundress Sister Nancy Wittwer, SL, wondered,

“WThhis saimptl e qauebstioon uled tt o theh foeun digng iofr Mlarsia?n ” Middle School. Marian opened in the fall of 2000 with 14 fifth and sixth grade     ! students. Today, we educate more than 70 fifth through eighth grade girls each school year. Marian has come a long    way over the years, and we have you to SATURDAY thank! We look forward to celebrating APRIL 18, 2015 this milestone anniversary with you during the 2014-2015 school year! integrity being a servant initiative courage grit hospitality valuing differences personal responsibility charisma
