We are united in Kansas to fight back on one of the deadliest drugs our nation has ever seen. The Fentanyl crisis is not going away overnight- it will take all of us working together to raise awareness and take action. Follow along all week while we share resources and information on the crisis. #OnePillCanKill

Fentanyl poisoning has claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Kansans, a number that is sadly growing each day. The biggest myth when it comes to this epidemic is that ‘it can’t happen to me.’ As students across Kansas head back to school, it is imperative we join forces as a community to bring awareness to the realities of the fentanyl crisis and educate our children. #OnePillCanKIll

TMP-Marian is a great place to get personalized preparation for your post-high school goals! The school was recognized recently as one of only 97 Kansas high schools (380 total in the state) as an Apply Kansas All-Star School.
An Apply Kansas All Star School is a school that meets the criteria for helping students through the process to apply for college and other post-secondary programs before they graduate.
High school counselor, Mr. Dave Zachman, leads TMP-Marian's efforts on this and is to be commended for his work.

This past week we traveled to Clyde, KS for the Summer Mission Work of Prayer and Action. We had a great time and experience!
May 30th through June 2nd, members of the TMP FFA attended the 95th annual State FFA Convention hosted by K-State University. While in Manhattan they attended many workshops and sessions. Grace Schmeidler (in-coming junior) competed in extemp speaking, and was a delegate for the state officer elections. Preston Mermis (in-coming sophomore) was selected and played for the State FFA Band. Other members that attended the trip were Ainsleigh Bain (in-coming junior), Caleb Marintzer (in-coming junior), Chloe Purinton (in-coming junior), and Collin Haselhorst (in-coming Sophomore). While on their trip they also visited the KanEquip Tractor Museum, got to tour the newly remodeled St. Isidore’s church, and socialized with other FFA clubs. Thank you to Dean Haselhorst and Rick Binder for chaperoning; as well as, Mrs. James (advisor) for making this trip happen.
Our newest alumni are now hanging in the halls of Thomas More Prep-Marian! Congratulations one last time to the class of 2023. We miss you already and hope that you will come back often to visit your alma mater, your teachers, coaches, administrators, and classmates. Best of luck in the future and God bless. Forever a Monarch!
