At Grant Elementary in Lakewood, the SMASH Collaborative鈥攁 group of 3rd to 5th grade students鈥攃ombined games and breakfast in a creative way by building a domino chain with over 200 cereal boxes to support a cereal drive.
Led by four teachers (Shields, Maasgras, Shwab, and Holland), the group collected cereal to donate to two local charities: the Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corporation and Friends in Tents.
SMASH focuses on collaboration and empathy, regularly engaging in projects to help those in need.
The domino idea came from a 4th grader Henry, and the whole school participated!
Their efforts earned them this week鈥檚 A+ award!
