NewsOK’s talented host Dave Morris and videographer David Jones traveled to Checotah today to cover Carrie Underwood’s big donation of $117,000 in new instruments for her hometown school district’s music programs.

The donation comes through Underwood’s new Checotah Animal, Town and School Foundation (C.A.T.S.) and the Academy of Country Music’s charitable arm, ACM Lifting Lives.

Check out this NewsOK video of the assembly in which Underwood surprised students with the big news and treated them to a special performance, as well as Morris’ interview with the country music superstar. (Great job to the two Daves for their superb work in Checotah.)
