Cereal BoX Domino Challenge • May 6-23rd
This is going to be cereal-ously fun!
With the school year coming to an end, let's have some fun and give back to our community! Okte Student Council will be hosting a cereal box drive from May 6th-23rd. During that time, we will be accepting donations of unopened cereal boxes. However, before we donate the cereal, we will build a GIANT DOMINO LINE throughout our school with the boxes. The more donations, the longer our domino line will be! The current world record is 12,952 cereal boxes, can we beat it? After the event, all donated cereals will be donated to CAPTAIN Community Services to assist families in our community. Every box counts! Your donation can make a difference in someone else's life while adding to the excitement of the challenge. |
