MEDFIELD — The typical sight of students rushing through the halls of Thomas Blake Middle School was replaced by long, neat rows of cereal boxes lining the length of the floor.
After weeks of collecting donations, students recently organized the 320 boxes of cereal they had gathered for the third annual Grade 6 Cereal Drive Domino Run.
Throughout March, students collected cereal from their families and the community to support the Medfield Food Cupboard. Their efforts culminated in a fun and visually engaging cereal box domino activity on Thursday, April 2. The collected boxes were carefully arranged and toppled in a domino run.
“The Cereal Drive Food Run has become a fun tradition that the sixth grade students look forward to,” said Principal Nat Vaughn. “We are grateful to the school community for their continued support of this fundraiser, and thank all of the families who donated food.”
The initiative not only provided valuable food donations for local families but also promoted a sense of teamwork and community engagement among students.
“We were proud to see our students so excited to give back to the community,” said Superintendent Jeffrey J. Marsden. “The sixth grade class came together for a cause that truly made a difference for many families. We are grateful they chose to represent the district with kindness and compassion.”
The collected food will be distributed through the Medfield Food Cupboard to support families in need throughout the community. The food bank estimates that the donations will assist families for over a month.
