Empty Bowls Soup Dinner: April 29th
Please note the the date of the event has been changed to April 29th
Lent is a season of simplicity, self-reflection, and Christian growth – An excellent time for spiritual spring-cleaning and a perfect opportunity to reflect on our service to others.
One of the highlights of the Lenten season is the fourth grade’s annual Empty Bowls Soup Dinner.
On Thursday, April 29th our fourth grade students will prepare a simple soup supper. That evening, at 5pm in the Villa Cafeteria, students will host their families and friends to dinner. Soup will be served in bowls that were handmade by the student’s themselves as part of the art curriculum in Ms. Kunselman’s class.
Bowls, as well as the soup, will be for sale, with all proceeds going directly to Food Lifeline, a local hunger relief organization, serving Western Washington.
This annual fundraiser is a continuation of the fourth grade’s yearlong service project. Each class has already visited the Food Lifeline Distribution Center twice this year to assist with the sorting and packaging of food donations.
Empty Bowls is a grassroots effort to bring money and awareness to the fight against hunger. Events like this take place across the country several times a week throughout the entire year, and Villa Academy is proud of its fourth grade for their participation!
