A tradition that goes back over 50 years continued this past Sunday when the Southern Door fifth-grade class performed at the 71st Annual CP Telethon in Green Bay. Over 50 students performed two songs on stage and television before presenting a check for $17,008 to the Cerebral Palsy Center. Fifth-grade teachers at Southern Door Elementary School Bridget Spude, Nicole VandenBush, and Jamie Raynier say the individual efforts started months ago, and the hard work by the students every year is always appreciated, as is the community support. 

The Southern Door Fifth grade class has raised as much as $50,000 in past years. Sunday's 2024 CP telethon raised over $1.25 million for the Cerebral Palsy Center.
