CEREAL BOX DRIVE AT SAN BENITO ELEMENTARY WAS A SUCCESS!

Over the past three weeks, nearly 500 scholars at San Benito Elementary School in Atascadero collected 395 boxes of cereal. Today they used those 395 boxes of cereal to model a giant path of dominoes around their campus! After the activity, all 395  boxes were donated to the Season of Hope campaign at Atascadero Fire Department. Students from this STEAM-focused school learned about giving back to our community while understanding how a chain reaction works. Click on the box below to watch their giant domino train, the students reaction is priceless!!

Way to help out our community Bengals!
