I loved Marian from my very first day at school. I met friends who became sisters. My teachers became family. I loved learning, and most importantly, my teachers challenged me to be my best every day. What I didn’t know when I joined Marian is that the school would help me bring my dreams to life. I’ve loved dancing since I was a child. I even tried to teach myself how to dance by watching YouTube tutorials. I was floored when I found out that I could take real dance classes as part of Marian’s Enrichment Program, which empowers students to explore their talents and career interests. I took classes every Tuesday at Marian, performed in four musicals, and joined the Theatre Club. I gained confidence and learned that I could become a successful performer even though I began learning later than most trained dancers. When it came to picking a high school, Marian counselors helped me select environments that offered an array of creative opportunities within a rigorous academic setting. A major benefit of being a part of the Marian family is the Marian scholarships we receive to continue our academic journey at high- performing high schools. Marian also helps us learn how to successfully secure scholarships and financial aid to cover remaining costs. Without Marian, I wouldn’t have been able to continue chasing my dreams. Today, I am a senior at Nerinx, am a part of the Thespian Club, and have appeared in eight musicals and plays. Because I learned time management at Marian, I am balancing a tough course load and achieving a 4.0 GPA! This year, I became one of the few selected out of thousands of applicants to participate in the Missouri Arts Academy Summer Fine Arts Program. I would not have been able to participate in this life-changing experience without Marian’s financial help. Marian paid for my expenses for the program, and I learned so much about the importance of art in our world. This experience gave me the foundation I needed to conquer the Muny! That enormous stage always spoke to my heart, but I never thought I was good enough. Marian taught me that if I applied myself and worked hard, I could achieve anything. After one of the most grueling auditions of my life, I got the part! I danced every night in Footloose, and I felt alive! Thanks to Marian, I’ve planned the rest of my journey, and I know the sky is the limit for me. Next, I plan to get my Bachelor’s in Musical Theatre at Southeast Missouri State University. Because of Marian, I have a fire in my belly. I am receiving an amazing education that provides me with opportunities to be creative and continue challenging myself. One day, I’m going to perform on a Broadway stage. I am so grateful that Marian is helping me to get there. — Nyla Green, Marian Class of 2016

Thank You from Our Leadership Nyla is an incredible young woman, and we’re looking forward to seeing her on Broadway!
