The Peer Helpers at Eichold-Mertz Magnet School of Math, Science and Technology turned March Madness into a slam dunk for service! They collected 296 boxes of cereal for students who may experience food insecurity this summer. They wrapped up the project with a little fun -- setting up their donations like dominos. Second-grader Arabella Stanford, whose 76 boxes were the most donated by a single student, had the honor of tapping the first box and the school's third-graders, who collected the most as a grade level, got to watch them fall. Great job! #LearningLeading #PerseverancePropelsProgress
