Students in Mrs. Brongo’s class at Churchville-Chili Senior High School raised over $1,025.50 this winter crafting and selling holiday Cee Cee decorations. Students crafted 120 decorations this year, working as a team to design, cut, sew and glue the materials together to create the finished product.
Each year, the class chooses an organization to donate the money they raise. Since beginning the tradition in 2005, the class has raised and donated $15,570 for charity.
This year the class chose CURE Childhood Cancer Association as the recipient. A representative from CURE recently visited the class to explain how the organization helps families in the Rochester area. During the visit, students presented CURE with the check donation, along with supplies they purchased from CURE’s wish list.
This presentation was special for the class, as one student’s family has benefited directly from the organization’s outreach efforts. Before the class presented CURE with the donation, the student took a moment to personally thank the CURE representative and asked for a hug because of how much it meant to them.
