Students turn cereal drive into joyful chain reaction

Quail Hollow students cheer as the donated cereal boxes for Midvale sister schools topple over, creating a domino effect through the hallways and into the gym. 

More than 550 cereal boxes lined the hallways of Quail Hollow Elementary, stretching all the way into the gym. Then, with a signal from a student council member, the first box toppled—and a domino effect rippled through the school, as students cheered, “Knock them down!” But this wasn’t just a fun year-end celebration. The cereal was collected as part of a donation drive to support Canyons School District students in need. “We just wanted to help other students who might not have as much as we do,” one student said. “It feels good to make a difference.” The donations were delivered to Copperview and Midvalley elementaries in Midvale.
