Lisa Masters, who coordinates public relations for the event, said this year the Knight Stewards (the parent group at MELHS) purchased eight micropipettes and four electrophoresis units for use in the science department with a portion of proceeds raised from the event.
The group also purchased a washer and dryer for the school this year. Additional marketing efforts for the school have also been picked up because of the home and garden show. Each teacher was given up to $100 to be spent on classroom needs at the beginning of the year, too, Masters said.
“Last year, we purchased a new buzzer system for the Scholar Bowl team, provided monies for faculty to use toward their Interim week course needs, calculators for upper level math courses, and additional resources for our ACT prep courses,” she said. “It is our biggest annual fund-raising event for the school.
“This is the fourth year we have done the show and it has truly taken off. Our vendor space is very attractive to people. We have programs to attract families of all sizes and ages.”
Vendors wanting to take part may contact show coordinators at mehgs@melhs.org for information and vendor forms. Anyone wishing to be a sponsor will obtain tremendous visibility opportunities for their business.
