Slow
and steady wins the race so have one spoon
at a time leads you the world record way. The students at Blind Brooke
Middle School for sure might well endorse the previous statement . The event was sponsored by Stop & Shop and is part
of an initiative created by the Middle School's "Destination
Imagination" organization called "I Scream for Breakfast." All
money raised from the program benefit the food pantry at the Carver Center in
Port Chester. Thanks to the efforts of the 324 students, Stop & Shop, in
addition to donating cereal, milk, and juice, made a $5,000 donation to the
Carver Center's food pantry.
The 324 Blind Brooke students broke the world
record for the largest breakfast initiative
to help raise money and awareness for the carver center. The students were very
much happy to be a part of the world record
and were satisfied with the real
purpose of the event. Stop and Shop manager of public and community relations Putterman
said that when the students from Destination Imagination pitched the idea
to her she was almost swept off her feet. Thanks
to the efforts of the 324 students, Stop & Shop, in addition to donating
cereal, milk, and juice, made a $5,000 donation to the Carver Center's food
pantry. All money raised from the program benefit the food pantry
at the Carver Center in Port Chester.
Some
time back the students from Destination Imagination orchestrated
a breakfast themed flash mob that raised more than $1,500 for the food pantry. Caroline Levine said
that they wanted Carver Center to actually know what they needed and realize that the Center’s food pantry did not have any
breakfast food. Even the officials at Carver Center were all in praise of the
students and admitted that they had not expected this huge interest would come
from the student fraternity.
The
Largest cold cereal breakfast counted to
324 students of Blind Brooke Middle School at Rye Brook, New York, United
States of America on May 11,2012.
