The Board of Directors for the Magnet Foundation met in January 2014 to discuss several issues:
The Foundation received $22,000 in donations in 2013, including a very generous $10,000 donation from the parents of a graduating senior in the Class of 2013.
The Board approved several additional grants:
$400 for a bus to take students to the X-STEM Conference (Ms. Hart)
$1,410 for licenses to Matlab Software (Mr. Pham)
$2,000 per team (up to 3 teams) to cover chaperone costs and team housing for the ACSL All-Stars Competition in Denver (Ms. Dvorsky)
$2,640 for chaperone costs and housing for an exchange program at CERN in Switzerland (follow the students' blog) (Mr. Schafer)
The Foundation is working with a family to establish a scholarship fund that will be announced soon
The Board selected Lorrie Faith Cranor '89 for the 2014 Distinguished Alumni Award. She will receive the award at the Magnet Research Conference on February 27, 2014.
