MOUNT PROSPECT, IL — In an effort to support local food pantries, students from John Hersey High School and Indian Grove Elementary School teamed up earlier this week to conquer the "Cereal Box Domino Challenge." In all, 1,000 boxes of donated cereal boxes were stacked up around Indian Grove to create a path of dominoes.
Sixteen members of Hersey's Service Over Self Club traveled to Indian Grove Wednesday for the event. According to Township High School District 214 , the student body gathered to witness this "impressive display of teamwork and generosity, celebrating the spirit of giving back to the community."
Journey's The Road Home, Northwest Compass, Inc., and Mt. Prospect Village Food Pantry. were among the pantries assisted by the effort.
