Generous giving
Thanks to Morinville’s own Frontier Honda and RV City, for a $42,500 donation covering the cost of the new bleachers in the soon-to-be renovated gym at MCHS. Principal Eistetter said the school is “overwhelmed by the generosity and willingness of these local companies to support our students and school.”
