 GO CAVS!
From Principal Farfsing '95
Help spread the good news!
Open House is just around the corner, and Purcell Marian is working to make this the best one ever! Signs are available for placement in your yard, local businesses and at parishes around the region, and we're asking your help in getting the word out. Shadow Visits begin this week, and our Student Ambassadors are ready to go. Be a part of the excitement by sharing a photo of your Open House sign on our social media accounts with the hashtag #SeeMySign for a chance to win spirit gear!

Together. Onward Cavaliers!
From the Office of Admissions
Mrs. Kendra Wendeln
Our application for the 2019-2020 school year is open and we are scheduling shadow visits! The priority application and scholarship deadline is Dec. 7th. Encourage any interested 8th graders to apply and shadow ASAP!
Questions? Contact me at admissions@purcellmarian.org
Be sure and pick up your Open House yard signs from the front of school! Just grab one as you're picking up or dropping off your student. Signs are also available in our Admissions Office and can be picked up throughout the school day.

Not only does your participation in getting the signs out in the community show your school pride, it assists others in recognizing the growing energy surrounding Purcell Marian, and lets prospective families know how they can become a part of the excitement!
