At the fall meeting of the Magnet Foundation's Board of Directors, the following grants were considered for funding:
Chemistry Lab Equipment: $1,700
Replacement IR Spectrophotometer: up to $12,000
History Bowl Team buzzers: $250
Passion for Learning at Eastern Middle School: $2,000
As more lab equipment ages without MCPS funds for replacement, the Foundation is in need of more donations. Please make a contribution before the end of the year!
The Board discussed several additional issues at its meeting:
Hiring an executive director to help with administrative issues.
Final candidates for the 2019 Distinguished Alumni Award have been identified.
