Butler Catholic students have fun with cereal before donating it to food bank
Students at Butler Catholic School definitely did not flake on an assignment to collect boxes of cereal for those in need.
The entire school population of students in preschool through grade eight bowled over their student council advisers by bringing 576 boxes of the crunchy breakfast food to school over the last week.
The students milked the donation for all it was worth Monday morning, when the boxes were arranged upright by student council members and sixth-graders into a pattern on the gymnasium floor like dominoes.
Teachers and student council advisers Carol Dorcy and Kristen Singleton told the student population seated in the bleachers to choose heads or tails for a coin flip to see who would knock over the first box to “kick off” Catholic Schools Week.
After all the Cheerios, Frosted Flakes and Trix had toppled over, students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades carried multiple boxes of cereal to the St. Vincent de Paul box truck parked outside the gym, so they could be transported to the food bank.
