GREAT FALLS — Students at St. Patrick's Academy East collected 637 boxes of cereal for the Great Falls Community Food Bank in a service project that combined community service with creative celebration.
Watch the video:
The school, formerly known as Holy Spirit School, estimates the donation will provide enough cereal for 5,000 bowls.
The eighth-grade class led the effort, with 16 students collecting 146 boxes — the most of any class.
To celebrate their achievement, students created a "domino run" using the cereal boxes before donating them.
School director Laura O'Neil told students the project served as a lesson in being good disciples.
The donation will help address food insecurity in the Great Falls community through the food bank's distribution efforts.
