Eighth Graders Use Artistic Talents to Help Needy

St. Monica School eighth grade students decided to put their artistic abilities to use to help local needy. At the suggestion of science teacher Carmen Bond and with guidance from art teacher Sue Miller, the students made ceramic bowls for the 6th Annual "Empty Bowls Milwaukee" event held on Saturday, October 9th. This project was a fundraising event to benefit food pantries in the Greater Milwaukee area. For the suggested minimum donation of $15, attendees could select from over 2,000 handcrafted bowls donated by local artists, teachers, and students from Southeastern Wisconsin. The bowls were to be taken home as a reminder that someone's bowl is always empty.
