While most bake sales are about raising money for uniforms or field trips, the Lightsaber Guild has a more “fun” approach: Raise money for supplies to build new lightsabers 

Recently, the group set up shop at the MHS basketball games on Feb. 20, to sell donuts and varieties of soda, raising the necessary money to transform hardware store supplies into light sabers.

“Currently, we are raising funds at this bake sale for Lightsaber Guild so we can put together more sabers using PVC pipes, couch cushioning, duct tape, electrical tape and all kinds of either glues or epoxies and pool noodles,” president Clay Malcolm, junior, said.

Using these newly refurbished lightsabers, the club will have a lot more resources in their meetings and duels. Those resources would be duck tape and pool noodles, to possibly create and fix more lightsabers. 

“Every Monday we meet up in the commons next to the library for a [weekly] meeting,” Malcolm said. “Every week we do meetings where we swordfight each other.”

The club has also started to refashion famous group games into the theme of light sabers.

“Occasionally we play games kind of like games like ‘Sharks and Minnows’, but we just renamed it ‘Anakin and the Younglings,’” Malcolm said. “We have Marco Polo, but we just renamed that ‘Hello There Obi-Wan Kenobi’, because we’re ‘Star Wars’-themed, so of course we’re going to Star Wars it.”

The club will also look to raise money to buy shirts and hoodies for the members of the club.

“We have a plan of making shirts at some point and hoodies and other more clothing,” junior Ares Hoeting said.

Overall the fundraiser for the Lightsaber Guild will lead to many new advancements in the club’s materials and events.

“The community is probably the most exciting, as well as the action that you get to do,” Hoeting said.
