From the Academic Dean
The Academic Banquet is May 4th!
The banquet recognizes those students
that have distinguished themselves in extracurricular activities of a scholarly nature as well as those students that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom as determined by their presence on the Dean's List or First Honors for all three quarters.
The invitations should have arrived home by this time. Each year we strive to ensure that each deserving student is invited to the banquet. Towards that end, there are lists posted in various locations around the school. Announcements are made over the PA and at lunch requesting that students check these lists. If you do not receive an invitation but believe you should have, please call Carole Dahlquist at 751-1230 and she will be happy to check for you. Also, should you have multiple children at Purcell Marian, please note how the envelope is addressed. It will say, "To the Parent of HONOREE's name." If multiple children in the same family are invited, there will be multiple invitations.
We are only able to accommodate a maximum of 300 people in Alumni Hall so we must limit each Honoree to two guests. Please return your reservation by April 22nd. We are only able to accommodate those that reserve their place. You may pick up your dinner tickets at the door, the night of the banquet. This is a wonderful event and I would like to add my congratulations to all the students that have merited this recognition.
Spring Check Up:
Progress Reports went home last week. Did yo
u
receive a good health academic report for your child? We hope so, as this is a craz
y time of year. There is so much happening and it is easy for students to lose focus. If you should have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to give your child's teachers a call. If the guidance counselors or I can be of help please let us know. (

Guidance Office Welcomes Dr. Snoop!
Purcell Marian High School welcomes its newest addition to the Guidance Office! Dr. Snoop, a therapy hamster, came to Guidance following a recent visit by Ms. Brinkman's daughter's hamster. The furry animal became an instant hit with students, so it was decided to bring one on board on a more permanent basis.
Students assisted in naming Dr. Snoop by placing names in a suggestion box. The names were then placed around the Guidance Office, and the hamster placed in a clear plastic ball. The animal selected its name by rolling toward the slip of paper that said "Snoop."
Dr. Snoop has already been earning his keep by brightening everyone's day, and even helping to calm students during stressful moments. Be sure to stop by the Guidance Office and say hello!
