Collinsville Community Unit School District #10 schools supported the 2015 Festival of Trees which benefitted the historic Miner’s Theatre.
Bragging rights went to Webster Elementary’s tree which raised $650 for the Miner’s Institute Foundation.
Webster Kindergarten teacher Michelle Rennie said, “From gathering ideas and donations to designing a beautiful Christmas tree, this year’s fundraiser benefitting our own Miner’s Theatre was a proud moment for Webster School staff. The countless hours our volunteers put into organizing the effort was an incredibly generous gift to our community and its citizens.”
The 2015 Festival of Trees also featured trees decorated and donated by Collinsville High School, Collinsville Middle School, Dorris Intermediate School, and Renfro Elementary.
Collinsville Education Association and The Kahok Dancers also sponsored trees.
