The December character trait at Winton Elementary School is "generosity."
The school has shown its generous nature in spades or, in this case, 1,389 boxes of cereal.
This was the third year for Winton's Cereal Box Drive, a campaign of generosity sprinkled with healthy competition to collect cereal for the Community Action Partnership Coeur d'Alene Food Bank and The Father’s Market at Heart of the City Church.
"The students collect cereal boxes all month," Winton counselor Brianna Birdsall said Thursday morning.
One big check, two community giants.
Silverwood Theme Park donated $10,000 to Cancer and Community Charities (3Cs) ahead of the 3Cs' largest benefit event, the annual fashion show and dinner.
