West Liberty-Salem Elementary utilized March Madness as the inspiration behind their recent community giving event, which culminated in an interactive grand finale event around the halls of the school.

Elementary students and their families donated more than 1,400 boxes of cereal for a school-wide game of dominoes called March Cereal Madness.

The boxes of cereal were set up throughout the halls of the entire elementary and successfully fell completely in order and ending in the gym. Specials teachers planned and designed the route that the dominos would take, while fifth-graders were integral in the set-up, tear down and execution of the falling boxes.

After the main event, students helped load volunteers’ cars with all 1,407 cereal boxes that will stock local food pantries in Champaign and Logan Counties.
