We're excited to see our new Creative Technology Center officially getting its sign! While the building isn't complete, the interior is approximately 25% finished, with progress being made every week.

This space represents innovation, hands-on learning, and endless opportunities for our students. A huge thank you to our major sponsors for making this possible: Hess Services, Dreiling Trust, Don Gottschalk, Klem Karlin, and Diehl Oil.

One TMP-M international student would like to live with a host family for the 2nd semester. This student is a senior and has already attended TMP-Marian successfully for a semester. He currently lives in the dormitory.

Consider enriching your family experience this semester with a host student. The student is a senior male from Vietnam. The time period would be as soon as possible this month until May 18.

Host families provide a student with a loving home, bedroom, bathroom (can be shared), evening and weekend meals, and transportation to and from school. The host student is responsible for their school work, keeping their spaces tidy, and doing their own laundry

Host families receive a $600 monthly stipend to help offset the costs of hosting. If you are interested in helping this young man, please contact Chad Meitner at meitnerc@tmpmarian.org.

Derek Gerstner of Simon Wealth Management was a guest speaker in our 6th Grade Personal Finance class on Monday. He stressed the importance of saving and investing early. Even from the very first, after-school kind of job, students can be setting themselves up for a positive financial future! A big THANK YOU to Derek for sharing his time and talent with us.

Great work Angel, Tateum, and Vince! Three 8th grade students from Thomas More Prep-Marian served this past weekend at the Samaritan House homeless shelter in Denver. They also served at a fundraiser for Marisol Health, an archdiocesan organization that provides free medical and social support to mothers.

Thank you parents who also attended so that their students could serve as Jesus teaches us!
