LEO Club Advisor Linda Morgan will be on Focus on Education this Saturday, discussing the upcoming Annual Senior Brunch event on Thursday, April 7, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. in the High School Commons served by the Leo Club Seniors.
She explains that all senior citizens are invited to come to the High School for a buffet of waffles, muffins, breads, yogurt, milk, juice, and coffee and to mingle with the Leo Club seniors. “This year, I have the seniors of the Leo Club help with the Brunch. So, they get a nice little breakfast of goodies there, and they get to visit for about a half-hour.” Leo Club Advisor Linda Morgan explained, “Then, at about 9:15 a.m., they are invited to sit in the auditorium to see the Crookston High School Drama students perform the musical Godspell, directed by Beth Carlson. It’s free to go in, but if you would like to give any donations, you can.” Doors will open around 8:00 a.m. for any early comers, and senior students will be driving burrowed golf carts from the Minakwa Country Club around the parking lot to bring senior citizens to the school.
The Brunch has been an annual event at the Crookston High School, dating back even before Morgan was the Advisor for the Leo Club, with them only missing it recently due to COVID-19 closing schools. Morgan believes it’s a beautiful event at the high school with the interactions between the students and the senior citizens to the recent happenings around the school. “It’s a beautiful event for our seniors citizens coming to the High School to see our High School seniors that will be graduating in a couple of months and just to be in our school.” Morgan explained, “It’s great to have our senior citizens in our school to see what’s going on. It’s kind of a sign of spring when we get to invite them to come to our school.”
Morgan mentioned upcoming events for the Leo Club and the Crookston High School for the spring. Including the High School Drama students who will have their official performance of “Godspell” at 7:30 p.m. April 8 through 10 at the Crookston High School Auditorium. Tickets are available from cast members and at the door. Admission will be $8 for adults and $5 for students. A Prom Fundraiser Breakfast will be held next Saturday, April 9, from 8:00 a.m. to noon at the Masonic Lodge to help cover the prom’s expenses. The breakfast is open to anyone to come, and all donations are freewill. Attendees are free to enjoy waffles, pancakes, French toast, orange juice, and coffee. The school’s prom will be held on Saturday, April 30. “The first letters have been sent out to the students, and I believe the after-prom party letter has been sent out as well.” Morgan explained, “The invitations for it will be going out at the end of the week. So, April 30th is the date for our Juniors and Seniors, so everything is getting planned and done, and hopefully, the weather will be nice for that too.”
The CHS Senior Brunch will be held next Thursday, April 7, from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m. in the High School Commons, with a free showing of the Drama Student’s three-act musical performance “Godspell” after the meal. Doors will open around 8:00 a.m., with senior Leo Club students driving attendees to the school from the parking lot on golf carts.
