My Project

Thank you for taking the time to check out our www.donorschoose.org. We are hoping to purchase a pottery wheel for the art program at our middle school. Special Area Teachers at our school, in addition to their individual subjects, are in charge of the Character Ed Program. We have been designated a National School of Character several years in a row.

We are hoping to take the Character Ed program to the next level next year with a special fundraising event.

It's called the Empty Bowls Project, and art students will create beautiful ceramic bowls with the pottery wheel that will be for sale at the event where it can be filled with some type of food. Patrons will be able to keep the bowl after the event.

The proceeds from our Empty Bowls Fundraiser will go towards to organizations in our neighboring community, Joseph's House and Cathedral Kitchen in Camden, NJ. We have done many fundraising events for these two places and even brought 7th grade classes on field trips there do that they can see and meet the places/people their efforts have benefited.

The character ed program not only helps those in need but instills in our students a lifelong commitment to community service. Many of our students continue to work with these charities for various community service projects as they move on to high school and beyond.
