The students of Carrollton High School decided to focus on the topic of Hunger. The students chose to organize and host an Empty Bowls Dinner.
The class invited the art classes of Mrs. Wesley to make the bowls for the dinner. They also decided to donate monies raised to Hidden Harvest as they, seemingly, will have the most impact on the community.
At an Empty Bowls Dinner everyone is served a soup in a ceramic bowl along with a piece of bread. This is served to bring attention to the fact that many individuals throughout the world have no more than this to eat in a day's time. The purpose of holding the Hunger Expo in conjunction with the dinner is to build awareness of hunger issues and solutions to those issues that exist in the Saginaw area. The documentary "One Survivor Remembers" willalso be shown.
Wednesday, April 2 falls at the midpoint of Celebrate Carrollton Week and was chosen as the date for the dinner. This date was chosen for several reasons. First, our heritage as a community was deeply set in the culture of Eastern Europe. There is also a Holocaust survivor that has been a longtime resident of Carrollton. Second, it is a great time to showcase the ability of our students to take an interest and take a stand to better the community they live in and make a positive impact in the lives of others.
