The PTO at Galena Elementary in Floyds Knobs will, according to this story, hold a pancake breakfast Feb. 23 to raise money for school families that need help with medical and other expenses.
It will be held from 8 to 10 a.m. at Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill, 771 East Lewis and Clark Parkway in Clarksville.
Tickets cost $5 and are available at the school, 6697 Old Vincennes Road, during school hours until Feb. 20. More information is available at the school, 923-5150.
Money raised will go to the Galena Giving Fund, which was established to help the members of several school families who were stricken with E. coli bacterial infections last year.
