TMP-M students checked out the eclipse today at various locations on campus. It was a beautiful day, and students and staff enjoyed the time to marvel at God's creation. Thank you Mr. Nyberg and Astronomy Club for making sure everyone had appropriate glasses and caught the peak of the eclipse.
Happy Easter (it's still during the 50 days of the Easter season, so I like to say Happy Easter a long time)!
As many know, at TMP-M students are allowed the option of going to confession each Friday. We are so blessed to have a cadre of priests who make it a priority to get to TMP-M each Friday to help us do this.
Anyway, during the Lenten season and 1st week of Easter (Feb. 14-April 5), 212 confessions were heard! Accounting for some faculty and staff confessions, we conservatively estimate 70% of the student body independently chose to go to confession. And we didn't even have school on three of the Fridays during that time period.
Way to go Monarchs! You are amazingly well-rounded and thoughtful kids!

Estate Planning Session at TMP-M on April 10.
Today the JH competed in Hoxie at the Scholars Bowl MCEL. The 8th grade team was unstoppable taking 1st place with a record of 9-0. The 7th grade had a great day but ended with a record of 4-5. They gave it a great try. We are extremely proud of both teams. Great job Monarchs!
Yesterday the JH robotics team competed in the Western Kansas Robotics Competition hosted by the SMEI at FHSU. We had four teams compete and had 1 team take 3rd place for the line follower sorter event and 1 team take 1st place for the sumo bot competition. We tied for first place for team competitions. Great job Monarchs!
Due to the weather and road conditions Hays Catholic Schools will be on a 2 hr delay tomorrow (March 26). The school doors will open at 9:30 am. Be safe and God bless.
The TMP-M vs. Hays High faculty basketball game scheduled for tonight to benefit ALS will be postponed due to weather. A make-up date will be announced later.
Senior Caden Becker will represent Thomas More Prep-Marian High School at the State Kansas Entrepreneurial Challenge in Manhattan on April 16th. Caden placed second at the local YEC in the Fall with his "Star Garage Aid" business plan. The first place team is an automatic qualifier for state and recently backed out of the competition. Therefore Caden will go as the winner from Ellis County. Sr.'s Caleb Marintzer and Austin Gilbert, who took 3rd place at the local YEC, have entered their business as a "wildcard". Wildcards will be selected on March 27th. If they are selected, they will also compete at state. Congratulations to Caden and good luck Caleb and Austin.
