Hello my name is Michael Legge and I am an 8th grade student at Mark Twain Elementary School. Mark Twain doesn’t require students to do science fair projects but I went out and did one on my own. My project is Mysterious Bacteria vs. Evil Tobacco, the effects of tobacco products on bacteria in the mouth. I was the only one to represent my school at the county level and to my surprise I got first place and my project was chosen to go to the State Science Fair in L.A. on May 2nd and 3rd.
My problem is the cost will be around $500 and with the county’s current budget they will not be able to help me and I really don’t want to put any more strain on the county or my family. I am attempting to raise the funds to go on my own by trying to get donations.
On Friday April 22 and Saturday April 23, I will be outside of the Payless IGA Market in Copper from 2:00 till 6:00 pm displaying my project and attempting to raise funds to go. Donations may also be mailed to my home. I would appreciate any donations even the smallest will help. My goal is to proudly represent Copperopolis and Calaveras County and hopefully place at the state level.
Thank you in advance,
Michael Legge

Can someone post a PayPal account or a way for out of towners to lend a hand! I think Michael is doing your county proud and we should help our youth when they stand up and do something that we can be proud of.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry - we are very proud of him! An email address for paypal is coach_doug@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteThank you Terry, I know that he will be a fantastic representative for our county and our state if he is chosen. In this day and age, it is hard to find a young man like Michael, he is so thoughtful and caring, full of determination no matter what obstacles are in his way. I am so very proud of him and fortunately for me, he is my grandson.
