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 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yb3ezJK14Im0ENaMAaHZEdHE2Orulmsl/view 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. He was included in the video that announced the 97 schools at the June 15, 2023 meeting of the Kansas Board of Regents. You can watch the video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEDMkwjSy0E

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).
