In third place, with a “Grrreat” effort, 7th grade stacked up 102 boxes.
In second place, just a spoonful ahead, 8th grade poured in 104 boxes.
But the real cereal superstars are… 🥁 the 6th grade, who absolutely CRUNCHED the competition with 250 boxes!
That means our 6th graders have earned free seating Fridays in October—talk about a “bowl-d” victory! 🏆
Altogether, we collected 456 boxes for the Buffalow Family and Friends Food Pantry! These will be added to Hickory High School’s total as we team up to snap, crackle, and pop Great Bridge in the Battle of the Boulevards!
Thanks to everyone who donated!!!
