The donation is a “thank you” to several CHS Band and Choral students who helped with the 2023 UMM Pancake Breakfast Saturday March 25.
The students waited tables, delivered food, cleaned tables and assisted with the post-breakfast cleaning of the Fellowship Hall.
Each student will receive $50 to help send him or her to the 2025 Band and Swing Choir trip to Florida to perform on a cruise ship and at Disney World.
