Flipping cheerleaders and fist-pumping dance team members helped the Crusaders ring in the new school year. Marian’s first all-school assembly on August 17, 2015, consisted of a high-energy routine by the Marian cheerleaders, coached by  Allie Clark. The JV and Varsity dance teams, coached by Mrs. Michelle Delisi, also dazzled the student body and faculty with their clean-cut moves.

President Ms. Mary Higgins welcomed students and faculty back from the long summer break. She introduced new staff members, including new principal Mrs. Susie Sullivan ‘80. Sullivan shared a few memories comparing the Marian she knew before to the Marian she knows now.

“As I peeked down the halls before school began today, I couldn’t help but picture all of my friends hanging around waiting for the bell to sound, too,” she reminisced.

Up next was Ms. Rochelle Rohlfs, who is the Athletic Director and Assistant Principal of Marian. Rohlfs went on to explain the importance of keeping school halls sanitary and orderly in case of evacuation emergencies with a PowerPoint presentation displaying the trash found in each class’ halls from that morning.

“Marian is your home girls! Let’s keep it clean,” she stressed.

The assembly ended with the classic “Marian Fight Song.” Marian girls pranced around chanting the song and exiting the gym doors while physically entering into the new year.
