The 6th-grade class participated in the NASA Techrise virtual event today to see if they were selected for any of their proposed experiments.

They did an outstanding job and we are very proud of the entire class.
The TMP-Marian Scholars Bowl team competed in Phillipsburg last night. The Monarchs finished with an 8-2 record and second place finish. Our next action will be at Norton on Thursday.
Please be very careful walking on TMP-M's campus this morning. The melting and re-freezing has created some very slippery conditions. Maintenence is salting and addressing it as best they can. Take your time and be vigilant.

The TMP-Marian Solar Power Team, sponsored by MW Energy, is preparing for the statewide solar energy competition in February in Topeka. The team has been designing and building a solar power system that maximizes efficiency and usability.
As part of the design process, the students learn about different aspects of electrical production, such as how much energy is converted to heat versus light. Snacking on some lab-made 'smores (pictured) isn't a bad way to have some fun along the way!
The team is made up of sophomore Zechariah Dickman, junior Sam Schroeder, freshman Mattias Marintzer, and freshman Sam Krannawitter. The team is led by physics teacher Isaac Dennis.
TMP-Marian brainpower brings good into the world in many ways!
