We Need Your Help!
At Lake Elkhorn, we have been competing in the Maryland Science Olympiad for the past three years, including the National Cathedral Tournament each December and the Maryland Regional tournament each February. We are proud of our success at these tournaments, which includes many medals for placing in many of the 23 events that occur at each tournament.
This year we are seeking your help in order to be able to participate in the Maryland Science Olympiad. We need $450 for the entry fees for the tournaments, in addition to needed funds to support the purchasing of the many materials needed to compete. We are asking for donations to help support this incredible experience and opportunity for our LEMS students.
If you are able to support Lake Elkhorn's participation in the Maryalnd Science Olympiad, click here for our online school payment page where you can make a donation. You can also write a check to Lake Elkhorn Middle School to make a direct donation.
Thank you so much for your ongoing support. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Bond at david_bond@hcpss.org.
