NMCC NHS Makes Donation to Children's Charities

Students with New Madrid County Central High School pose with members of Levi's Children's Charity at Melaina's Magical Playland on January 16. The students raised $2,267 which was split between the two charities.

The New Madrid County Central High School National Honor Society presented donations to Melaina's Magical Playland and Levi's Children's Charity at the Playland location Thursday morning.

The students raised a total of $2,267, which was split between the two charities.

Melaina's Magical Playland opened to the public September 27, 2013. The Playland was built to honor Jeff and Andrea Cunningham's daughter, Melaina.

This unique play area provides all children of all abilities a common place to play and learn through uniquely designed play equipment.

Levi's Children's Charity was established to create Levi's Adventure Trail, an outdoor, dynamic play area that will be constructed in the lot behind Discovery Playhouse in Cape Girardeau.

The play area will feature climbing structures, water play and a pavilion for special events, among other elements.

Levi's Adventure Trail honors Levi Stephen Collom, who passed March 18, 2012 from unexplained causes.
