RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A rather cheesy event was held at Red Apple School in Racine on Wednesday, May 20. 

Students collected nearly 2,000 boxes of mac and cheese and turned them into a giant domino train, before being donated to local shelters. 

CBS 58 spoke with staff members at the school who spoke on their students' dedication toward helping others. 

"This is great. This is amazing. The kids all set this up with minimal help from us and they are going to see it go back in the community," said Trish Howard, Red Apple School staff. 

"The kids love the community, we love the community too, so we feel it's really important that they are a part of it and put back into the community," said Susanne Kelly-Johnson, Red Apple School staff.
