Moreland fourth- and fifth-graders present cereal drive to board during flag salute
Summary
Students from Moreland presented a weeklong “Cereal for All” drive and led the flag salute; board members praised the students and noted the drive supported local food banks. The students said the drive ran for one week; the transcript did not specify a clear overall box count.
Moreland fourth- and fifth-grade students told the Board of Trustees about a student-led “Cereal for All” drive during the opening of the board meeting and led the flag salute.
The students described organizing the drive and collecting cereal boxes to donate to local food banks. They said the drive ran for one week and explained they were motivated by a statistic about hunger in Santa Clara County.
Board members and district staff publicly thanked the students for their work and said the presentation would be a reminder of the district’s mission while trustees conduct other business. One board speaker commended the students for planning, coordinating volunteers and following through.
Students who spoke identified themselves as Indra Josh, Tomani and Adnan Kalangi and explained tasks they handled, such as organizing and collecting donations. The students said they were encouraged to participate by teachers and family members and that they hoped their efforts would help people facing food insecurity.
The board’s remarks emphasized that student civic action is a reminder to trustees of the district’s work on behalf of children and families. The board did not take any formal action related to the drive during the meeting.
The students and their families were thanked and dismissed after the presentation.
