EMPTY BOWLS

Service project

Raise money for hunger by creating ceramic bowls (no artistic ability necessary) to be filled with simple fare at a fund-raising dinner. Any student interested in earning service hours may join in at any time from the beginning of the school year until the fund-raising dinner on April 5, 2006. There are many different steps that need to be taken for the project to succeed. Whatever your schedule you can find time to drop by the art room and log in as little or as many service hours as you decide. For details please see Ms. Hilton or Mr. Deitch.
