ACTION ALERT: We need your testimonials to help restore funding for the supervision of senior research projects!
You are invited: The Distinguished Alumni Award for 2015 will be announced at the Magnet Research Convention at Blair in the SAC, which will be Thursday, February 19th beginning at 6:30pm.
The Foundation received over $8,000 in donations in the fall and winter of 2014. Thank you for your generosity!
At the winter meeting of the Board of Directors, the Foundation approved several new grants:
$400 for a MagPi bowling event for Magnet freshmen
$450 to register teams for the Ocean Science Bowl
$350 to buy a set of Algorithms books for Computer Science
$4,000 to upgrade LabQuest equipment for R&E
$3,100 to buy band saws and sanders for R&E
A lot of R&E equipment is coming due for replacement. One generous parent was able to donate a band saw to Blair. If you know where the Foundation may be able to find other discounted or donated equipment, please e-mail board@mbhsmagnet.org. We are looking for a bench top drill press (heavy duty), a shop vac, dust collector, and cordless drills. You can also donate to help the Foundation purchase this equipment.
