Our fundraiser to help the refugees from Ukraine is going well. We have already reached the level 1 target of $1000 and are moving ever closer to our ultimate goal of raising $5000 by Friday. If you are interested in contributing, you can bring donations to the TMP-Marian front office. All of the funds will be transferred electronically to a Polish non-profit organization working with refugees from Ukraine.
The students in Mrs. Flax's art crafts class are engaged in a variety of artistic endeavors. Students in the class are doing anything from crocheting with yarn, embroidery work, diamond dots, painting and sewing. We love to see our students get a well rounded education.
