Ocoee Middle School hosts Empty Bowl Project
By web | February 5, 2009
It goes without saying that an artist has to employ the utmost creativity to produce works of art. Ocoee Middle School art teacher Amanda Duncan had utilized her students creativity to help The Caring Place.
On Jan. 22, the OMS art club, art I and art II classes presented a check for $860 to The Caring Place. The art students made 68 ceramic soup bowls in class and then held a soup night where they charged $20 per family to attend. Families kept the handmade, colorful bowls after the event and all the money raised was donated to The Caring Place.
“I got the idea from the Empty Bowl Project, which is an international effort to fight hunger. We implemented it on a local level by giving to The Caring Place,” said Duncan. Duncan said her students were responsible for every aspect of the fund-raising event, from making the bowls and helping serve soup to making posters and decorations for the night.
