Edgar Middle School Science Fair

The MEF founded the Edgar Middle School Science Fair in the early 2000s and has been proudly sponsoring it ever since! Every March, more than 30 community scientists volunteer their time to judge more than one hundred student Science Fair projects! We are so grateful to have the expertise of these community member judges. If you are a scientist and would like to volunteer to be a Science Fair judge this year, please Contact Us.  We'd love to have you!

Campbell Elementary School 

Better Than Broadway Theatre Week

For over a decade, the MEF has proudly funded the 2nd Grade Better than Broadway Theatre Week at Campbell Elementary School.  During this special week long program, all 2nd grade students rehearse and perform an original musical for the school, family, and friends. Theatre Week gives students a greater appreciation for the Performing Arts, builds self-esteem, and brings together the whole school community for a heart-warming and positive experience. You can learn more about Better than Broadway here.

The next 2nd Grade Better than Broadway Theatre  Week will take place April 20 - 24, 2026.
