Senior, Riley Frank and Junior, Eli Stein, travelled to KC Arrowhead Stadium this Wednesday for the 2025 KAB, Kansas Association of Broadcasters Sports Seminar and Student Awards Banquet.
Riley was presented with her awards from KAB President Allison Mazzei. Riley placed 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for various Monarch Hype videos. Also pictured with Riley and Eli is keynote speaker, Jake Eisenberg (he is one of the voices of the KC Royals). It was a busy day with various sessions and awards, but we think the kids will tell you the best seats in the house at Arrowhead might be up in the Penthouse or Press box.
Today, the TMP-Marian National Honor Society had the joy of delivering our fundraiser donations to Early Childhood Connections in Hays! The funds will help provide books for families in need, giving children the opportunity to grow their love for reading and expand their knowledge.
We were thrilled to contribute to such a meaningful cause! While dropping off the donation, students received a tour of the facility and saw firsthand the impact of their efforts. It was a truly rewarding experience and a wonderful opportunity to serve.
We’re so proud of the work our members put in and are excited to keep making a difference in our community!
Fr. Brian McCaffrey led the student body in a rosary for Pope Francis today at the end of school.
Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him. Amen.
Wayne Purinton, grandfather to Chloe ('25) and Isaac ('26) Purinton, spoke to the juniors and seniors today about his service in Vietnam and his journey of dealing with the effects of combat. Wayne graciously donated a signed copy of his book to the TMP-M History Department. We're extremely grateful for his service and the opportunity for our students to hear his story!

Students in 8th grade Spanish made a traditional craft to celebrate Easter! Cascarones are confetti filled eggs that are used in many celebrations, and getting one cracked over your head is a sign of good luck!
A few fun projects we've been doing in 7th grade enrichment. Our first project required building a chair for a stuffed animal only using paper and tape. Our second project involved each student getting assigned a family that they had to design houses, pools, gardens, garages, etc. for. Both projects turned out really well and I think they had fun getting to be creative.

Students in Marketing are presenting a marketing plan for a new product they created. Students had to develop a plan that addressed their target market, the 4 P's of marketing, including marketing research analysis. They created a slogan, tagline, product strategies, place and price strategies, along with promotion strategies and decisions. They presented their product and research to the classes today. There were some tremendous ideas and presentations!
