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. UPDATE: A HUGE thank you goes out to our generous donors who have contributed $1,792 so far but still need $208 in order to receive the $7000. Anyone who would like to contribute to this worthy cause can make donations online at www.lumenchristiak.com, by mail, stop by the office, or by credit card over the phone by calling Mrs. Estes at 907-245-9231. Donations should be made out to Lumen Christi and marked Partner’s in Science. If you would like more details about this grant, please email Mrs. Brewer at dbrewer@lumenchristiak.org.
