Marilyn and Larry Galvan have enjoyed “The Nutcracker” by the Wichita Ballet many times with their children and grandchildren. So they proposed an exciting project for the Elk County Community and Education Foundation to sponsor an elementary school trip to “The Nutcracker “by Ballet Wichita.

There was limited time to get this done for this year and purchase tickets and arrange transportation. Everyone pulled together and grades 1-4 from Moline, Severy and Longton elementary schools will attend on Friday, Dec. 12, at the morning performance. There will be 140 students with appropriate supervision of teachers and assistants.

Also as the year comes to an end, several people have already asked about donating to support this event and future projects. Tax deductible donations for the tickets in any amount would be appreciated. $7 will send one student; $35 will send 5 students or $105 will send 15 students to this wonderful event. Donations can be given to ECCEF members or mailed to ECCEF P.O. Box 956, Howard, KS 67349.
