Racine students collecting cereal for world record attempt

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Red Apple Elementary School students in Racine are looking to break a world record with a breakfast treat.

During the 2020-2021 school year, the kids collected 2,300 boxes of cereal and set them up like giant dominoes running long chains through the school. This year, school officials say they hope to collect 6,500 boxes for another world record attempt for cereal box dominoes on Friday, Feb. 3.

Afterward, the school says all of the cereal will be donated to local food pantries and organizations helping families in need.

Donations of regular-sized boxes will be accepted until through February 1. Boxes can be sent to or dropped off at Red Apple Elementary School at 914 St. Patrick Street, Racine, WI 53402. The school also has an Amazon Wish List.
