Naugatuck, CT - The students at Hop Brook Elementary School were treated to a performance by American Idol winner Nick Fradiani on Monday. They had won the Bag It Up for Goodwill Challenge and one of the prizes was a private concert by Mr. Fadiani. Hop Brook donated the top number with an impressive 35,060 items. The elementary school also won $1000 and NORA cupcakes.

Some of the students donned lime green t-shirts that featured the singer's name; everyone sang along loudly with their American Idol, and they sounded great!

The singer himself posted this message on his Facebook page along with a video:

Huge thank you to Hop Brook Elementary School for winning CT's Bag it Up for Goodwill Challenge. These kids raised 35,060 items for Goodwill! During this years challenge, 190,293 items were combined. They also are probably the best crowd I'll ever play for!! How cute are these kids!? 96.5 TIC
