TMP-M hosted 2A regional Scholars Bowl this evening. The Monarchs finished in 2nd place, earning a spot at next week's state tournament in Moundridge. Sylvan-Lucas won the regional with an undefeated record.
A huge thanks to everyone who volunteered to work at the tournament. We couldn't have done this without you!
If Catholic schools were a state, they would rank first in the NAEP scale scores for grades 4 and 8 in math and reading.
Reading and Math assessment data was released at the tail-end of Catholic Schools Week - https://ncea.org/NCEA/NCEA/How_We_Serve/News/Press_Releases/Catholic-Schools-Outshine-Public-Schools-in-Nations-Report-Card.aspx
Change War Declared for Tomorrow's TMP-M vs. Trego Basketball Game
The TMP-Marian vs. Trego-WaKeeney basketball game will include a friendly competition to see which school's fans can come up with the most change to benefit the Ellis County and Trego County Legacy Funds. These funds are used to grant money to schools and other organizations in the county.
So check your seat cushions and vehicle floorboards for loose change before coming to the basketball game at TMP-Marian tomorrow. Varsity girls start at 6 p.m. followed by the varsity boys. Go Monarchs!
Congratulations to TMP-M Dane G. Hansen Scholarship Interviewees
TMP-Marian seniors have a strong track record with the Hansen Scholarship program. Typically 20% or more of the senior class qualifies for the interview with about half subsequently winning a scholarship. Your odds of earning scholarships are very good if you complete the Hays Catholic Schools curriculum!
This year's interviewees, who represent 24% of the senior class, are (as pictured L to R) Will Robinson, Lucas Hess, Haley Stecklein, Caleb Marintzer, (bottom row) Gordon Schroeder, Jake Brady, Breanna Seiler, and Brooke Koenigsman. The school will further prepare candidates by providing mock interviews leading up to the Feb. 12 interview date.
God Bless and Good luck Monarchs!

The faculty and staff of Thomas More Prep-Marian wishes to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the very kind anonymous donor(s) who recently surprised us with a most generous gift. You did not have to be so good to us, but you chose to do so and that makes it all the more special. We feel your care and support and are truly appreciative of your generosity. Thank you for blessing us as we continue our daily commitment to our students and each other. We offer prayers of thanksgiving and blessing for you in return--from our hearts, THANK YOU!
