Grantee(s): Michael McManus, Daniel Klarfeld
Faculty Sponsor: Nicholas Zawerucha
This grant will fund the purchase of outdoor gym equipment, including parallel bars and a pull-up bar, for students to use during the school day, in gym classes, and team workouts.

Faculty Sponsor: Gwynne Bettencourt
This grant will provide funding for a student photography competition. A Senior Photography Specialist at Sotheby's has volunteered to serve as Judge.

Five winners will have high-resolution, 20"x24" Vibrachrome metal prints of their photographs exhibited in the hallways at MHS by June.
Grant 23-03
Debate Team Resources
Grantee(s): Samantha Siegel, Kira Tretiak
Faculty Sponsor: Jacob Lee
The Mamaroneck High School Debate Team participates in tournaments throughout the year. Students typically need to purchase their own supplies, including debate stands, legal paper, and accordion folders.
