Thank you to Hays High for joining us last night for our faculty/staff volleyball game. A total of $601 was raised for the Hays Rec Youth Scholarship program. The TMP team won the night and raised the most money so Mr. Meitner was overjoyed to get a pie to the face for the cause! It was a night of collaboration in our community and it was a great thing to see! Go Monarchs and go Indians and God bless!

The Hillbillies are coming! https://hayspost.com/posts/40e5043c-2339-41b1-8571-c3b23cb1dbc3

The new Digital Media Club at TMP-M is working on a video for the ACE Auction about Item 160, which is the partial renovation of the Al Billinger Fieldhouse. I know that the fieldhouse means a loth to our alumni so I am asking for your help in compiling some photos of the fieldhouse from the past. If you do have a photo that you are willing to share you can either bring it by the TMP office and I can make a copy or email it to me at majork@tmpmarian.org

Thank you for the dedication and love that you show to our school!
