Student Council is collecting boxes of cereal to donate to a local food pantry, but before we donate them, we want to build a domino line that stretches around the school! We have 19 days in February to collect boxes. Please share this with friends, neighbors, and family! Our goal is at least 800 boxes. That is 42 boxes each day. As of Day 2, we have 86 so we are on track to meet our goal!

We are so grateful for all the brave women and men who have served our country.
