Who Will Get Pied In The Face?
On Monday the 27th, Monday of Catholic Schools Week, the Junior class will start a fundraiser. Three buckets will be placed in the front office with a picture of a teacher attached. Whoever's bucket receives the most money by Thursday the 30th, will get pied in the face after the boys basketball game on Friday the 31st. If the winning teacher is not able to attend the game, we will find a time during house in the next coming weeks. Dollar amounts only, no change. The three teachers participating are....

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.

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!

Host Families Still Urgently Needed
We still need 6 host families for our Argentinian students and chaperone.
The students are here from Jan. 5-Feb. 12. The host family promises to provide meals on weekends and the evening meal during school days. The school provides the breakfast and lunch on school days. The family will provide transportation to and from school, and that is usually done by riding along with the host sister or brother.
The host family receives a $550 stipend to help offset the costs of hosting. The school receives $500 for each student that is hosted, so the school benefits financially. It's like giving the school a $500 donation. The student body benefits by getting a shot of excitement in January and a taste of another culture.
Here are the biographies of the Argentinians coming - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hCy5l-VP5GMGJL2XwauhN-aCXdlHGxYa/view
We still need homes for Matias, Agustin, Valentina, Sofia, Anna, and Florencia.
Contact Chad Meitner if you are able to host a student - meitnerc@tmpmarian.org
