This week Junior High Personal Finance enjoyed guest speakers Lisa Unrein from Sunflower Bank and Fr. Damian Richards from St. Nicholas of Myra Parish. Students learned about different aspects of the banking system including services, fees, and job opportunities from Mrs. Unrein. Fr. Damian shared a breakdown of his parish budget; their income, expenses, and tithing back to various community organizations. We thank our speakers for making time for us-so good to have real world examples of concepts we learn in class!
Everyone is invited to the Living Rosary on Oct. 2. Bring your prayers and intentions as we implore our Blessed Mother to take them to her Son on our behalf.
HOCO Shirts are done and ready to be picked up at Gone Logo if you ordered one!
Seniors from Mr. Amrein's U.S. Government class participated in the Reading of the Constitution on Sep. 17 at the Ellis County Courthouse. Participating judges included Glenn '74 Braun and Tom '82 Drees. Students learn concepts more deeply when interacting with the content and others to understand it. Well done social science Monarchs!
The junior and senior girls had a great time at the Powder Puff game last Saturday! The weather was perfect for a friendly game. Thank you to all the students and parents who showed up to watch and congrats to the Class of 2025 on their second straight win!

Schroeder Earns Commended Scholar Status
TMP-Marian senior Gordon (Sam) Schroeder received a letter of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program for his score on the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT).
Schroeder's score places him in the top 50,000 nationally out of 1.6 million student test takers. That puts him in the top 3%.
Schroeder joins 80 other Monarchs since 1971 who have achieved either Commended, Semifinalist, or Finalist status on the PSAT, including his older sister Rebekah in 2023.
Congratulations Sam!
Our Monarch High School Cheerleaders lead our Thunderstruck Mini Cheer Camp yesterday over at Holy Family Elementary! We had over 40 girls participate. It was a day full of spirit and fun! Come out to the TMP vs. Norton game on Friday night to see these mini cheerleaders perform!
7th grade enrichment had fun designing their own restaurant. They were asked to make a blueprint, menu, and flier for their own restaurant and then we spent two days playing restaurant- calculating sales tax, tips, and using restaurant etiquette. I will say eating the snacks was probably their favorite part!
Mr. Splichal's 2nd hour Ceramics class worked on their projects after learning more about bisque and glaze firing. The small class size and creative environment made for a wonderful lesson today.
STUCO execs, class presidents and vice presidents took a quick trip to Colorado to grow and learn with each other. The trip was sponsored by Ms. Litson and Mrs. Pinkney, with special thanks to Mr. Binder. They were joined by the assistant director of Camp Wojtyla, Kelton Stecklein, who is also a Rocky Mountain National Park guide. Fun moments of learning and sharing helped bond our student leaders!
Forty-plus Monarch Music students, led by seniors Jake Brady and Breanna Seiler, ministered at our First Friday all-school mass this morning. The group includes vocalists and instrumentalists. Beautiful sounds!

Collaborating with partners to start the week in 7th grade math today. Heard some excellent math talk in class-nice work!
