De Pere Cinema fundraising to get camper for Hurricane Helene victims
A large number of the students at the K-8 school have seen their homes destroyed or completely gone due to Hurricane Helene.
South Central Elementary was chosen because Spring Road's new school counselor Summer Woeckner is from South Carolina, and has family that lives near the impacted areas.
The school also partnered with Dunkin Donuts of Grand Chute, where they donated specially designed donuts with the Neenah logo and colors.
