Deadline to Purchase Luminary Kits Approaches

Sunday, April 3—the date of the citywide Luminary Event honoring the Melrose High School Class of 2023—is quickly approaching, and the MHS Permanent Scholarship Fund is eager to see every street in Melrose lit up in support of these graduates.

In the past three years alone, the Melrose High School Permanent Scholarship Fund has awarded a total of $1,032,000 in scholarship money to nearly 700 graduating MHS seniors, in large part to fundraisers such as the Luminary Event.

Luminary Event Rain Date

In the event of inclement weather, please check the MHS Permanent Scholarship Fund’s website, mhsfund.org, at 5 p.m. on the date of the event for potential postponement information.

Deadlines to Purchase Luminary Kits

The deadline to purchase luminary kits online—March 27 at 12 p.m.— is also quickly approaching. Luminary Kits are also available for purchase at Molly's Bookstore while supplies last.

To purchase a luminary kit online, please visit mhsfund.org or the Luminary Event’s EventBrite page, MelroseLuminaryEvent.eventbrite.com.

Online Orders Drive-Thru Event

Those who purchase their luminary kits online will pick them up during a drive-thru pick-up event in the parking lot of Melrose High School on Tuesday, March 28, from 6—7 p.m.

Winners Get Wings

The street that shines the brightest will be a winner, and winners get wings. Thanks to Mayor Brodeur and Lisa's Pizzeria, the winning street will be treated to a Wing Party featuring 300 wings (6 trays, various flavors, beverage not included).

Why it Matters

The proceeds from the purchase of each luminary kit goes directly towards supporting the Melrose High School Permanent Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to graduating seniors at Melrose High School pursuing education after High School.


Thank you for supporting the MHS Class of 2023! Questions regarding the luminary event or the pick-up event can be emailed to execadministrator@mhsfund.org.

About the Melrose High School Permanent Scholarship Fund

The Melrose High School Permanent Scholarship Fund was developed by the Melrose High School PTO in 1960 and its first scholarship was awarded in June of 1961. Since its inception, the organization's mission has been to raise and administer the funds required to award scholarships to students graduating from Melrose High School. While they work with the school to support the students, the MHS Permanent Scholarship Fund is not directly associated with Melrose High School. Donations to this fund, outside of the Luminary Event, can also be made through the fund’s website, https://www.mhsfund.org.
