Murdock Partners in Science Grant: This year Mrs. Brewer was nominated to receive the Murdock Partners in Science Supplemental Grant. This is a continuation of the summer research grant she received from them for the past two summers. The grant is to provide for purchasing materials to conduct research at Lumen Christi and to enhance our science laboratory. As a matching grant, the foundation required that the school raise $2000 which they will match with $7000. We would encourage anyone who would like to contribute to donate to this worthy cause. Donations can be sent to the school and marked Partners in Science Donation. If you would like more details about this grant, please email Mrs. Brewer at dbrewer@lumenchristiak.org.
