Cereal box challenge raises 3,544 boxes for food pantries Share Erskine Academy Domino Challenge 2021 Blais Photography SOUTH CHINA — Responding to a challenge issued by the Jobs for Maine Graduates students of Cony High School in Augusta to their peers at Erskine Academy, the school exceeded the 1,000 box challenge, raising 3,544 boxes of cereal for its local food pantries. Given only two weeks (one while the school was operating fully remote), Erskine’s goal of 1,334 boxes of cereal (one more than Cony High’s recorded total) was more than doubled. On April 5, cereal boxes were lined up to create a domino-effect spiral beginning at the headmaster’s desk, running through the school and to the gym. The live-streamed release event took over nine minutes from start to finish.
