Crazy fun at elementary school

Wish I'd had this vid for every time my mother said "don't play with your food"
The setup alone was a masterpiece. I wonder where the got that many cereal boxes.
That’s a lot of carbs
Probably asked each student to bring in 2 or 3….
How big was that school? Geez.... my first grade class was 8 and my senior high class was 21! that sure is a lot of junk food / cereal with loads of sugar.....

Dad was second out of 13 and I was 39th out of 472. My high school alma mater now has over 3K students on one campus, almost the same enrollment K-12 as the school district my kids attend north 30 minutes. The school district my wife and I graduated from has 49K students in 64 schools.
Beat you blume357. My senior class was 22.
Got me to thinking. Dad was in the first gradual class from a newly WPA built high school. Looks like some just a bit less than 100 kids.
32 years later there were over 1500 kids in mine.
My thought too. That place was huge. My first school had four rooms. First and second in one, third and fourth in one, and fifth and six were seperate, Two bathrooms and the principal's office. My High School graduation class was 60.

My son in law teaches in a school that has K/12 in one old 2 story building. The senior class has 6 to 8 kids annually.
How on earth did they set up so many boxes, without some kids reaching in and accidentally prematurely setting off that chain reaction?
I have volunteered many times at my Wife's school, and I would never bet money that such an event could be set up completely without being set off early.

Probably all photoshopped or computer generated from artificial intelligence.... it is things like this, the size of that school and number of students, that just reminds me I am one of those old people that are totally out of touch with the rest of the world.
My first grade year we had two classes, each with 20 students - 40 in total. My senior year, there were 750 in my graduation class, and another 300 in the other high school in the district (Richardson ISD). Growth. Then I attended college at the University of Texas at Austin - 40,000. Then I served in the military - 500,000.
My daughter's graduating class at Plano Senior High School was 1,600. My oldest son's class, 2 years later, totaled 1750. Eight years later my youngest son's senior class was 1,100 - but that was after the Plano School District added two more high schools.
People always told me, "...those classes are too large." No, I responded... those classes prepare the seniors to be minnows in the college lakes, and colleges prepare graduates for the ocean.
It's easier to be "almost the best" in a class of 2.

Plano and Plano East used to be in our (Marcus HS) UIL district. Later on, we in the LISD (Lewisville) had Sherman and Wichita Falls to travel to. Seemed weird then. Now up here a little north and being the only 4A school around, we have to travel over an hour to every away game or function.
Yep. In high school our Richardson football team played Paris, TX. One year we (band students, cheer leaders, pep squad, etc.) all rode a train to that football game. That was a memorable experience. I always enjoyed the bus rides to "away" games, and especially the ride home if we won.
These days, those rides are 30 minutes in a bus. Not at all the same experience or the same bonding. Oh well....
Our HS band took buses to all games as our " Home stadium was about 30 minutes from the school. One year we play a school on our schedule from a tough area, some of the students had signs reading Win or Riot. We won and on the trip homes rocks start flying through the window of the bus.
