Friday Feel Good: WI Students Have “Grrrrrreat” Goal

We are often told not to play with our food, but one group of students in ignoring that advice and setting a record in the process

An elementary school in Racine, Wisconsin attempted to break the world record for cereal box dominoes.  Students and teachers spent the past month collecting more than 7,000 boxes. Last week (on Feb. 3) they spent hours precariously lining the boxes up through multiple floors in the school, up and down stairs, and all the way down to the gym.  

One fourth grader said while setting up the boxes was “amazing”, he was nervous that someone would knock one over and they’d have to restart. Thankfully, if that happened, teachers were ready with a plan. Susanne Kelly-Johnson, a teacher with the school for 32 years. “We pull out every tenth box so in case there was a mishap, we were able to pick them back up again.”

They’ll find out if they officially broke the record in the coming weeks. All of the cereal boxes used were donated to local food banks.

We’re hoping for a win and a spot in the record books for a “Grrrrrreat” group of kids!
