St. Peter Lutheran students donate over 500 boxes of cereal to local food pantry
St. Peter Lutheran School buzzed with energy this week as students and staff teamed up for a cereal drive to benefit a local food pantry. The challenge was simple: collect as many boxes of cereal as possible. The result? A whopping 500+ boxes, ready to nourish families in need.
The excitement culminated in an all-school assembly, where the gym transformed into a domino-like cereal wall. Students cheered as the boxes circled the room, their collective effort bringing Principal Paul Goffron’s playful incentive to life. If they reached the goal, he vowed to shave the school logo onto his head and rock a different hair color each day of the week.
The assembly also celebrated the St. Peter community’s achievements. The boys’ volleyball team received a brand-new banner for their exceptional sportsmanship, earning them the Lutheran State Association Sportsmanship award. The basketball teams, gearing up for the upcoming Saints Shootout tournament, were pumped to showcase their skills against Lutheran schools from across the state.
This event wasn’t just about cereal and sports. It was about community, camaraderie, and making a difference. St. Peter Lutheran School continues to inspire, fostering an environment where school spirit soars and giving back is a joy.
