Fundraising

15 years ago, one dedicated Meeker High School science teacher and conservation enthusiast starting taking students on summer trips through a program called Ecology Project International. Trips have involved studying wildlife in Costa Rica, Belize, and the Sea of Cortez.

This summer, Hamp will get to be one of those students with a new leader who is equally as enthusiastic and happens to be a great friend, too! A small group of 8 MHS students have signed up to go to the Galapagos National Park for 2 weeks to study the island and marine wildlife.

In order to help pay for the trip, the group of parents and students involved hosted a fundraiser dinner in Meeker - including a silent auction and fun entertainment. The event was a huge success, in most part due to the generosity of our community and so many people who participated and donated. It was great to see the kids all help prepare, serve and clean up from the dinner and I think they all got a sense of just how lucky they are to be a part of something so exciting.

Hamp will be headed out on June 8th and I could not be more excited for him...
