The fourth grade Empty Bowls hunger relief project was a tremendous success! On November 18th, more than 100 faculty, staff, students, and families of Cuffee fourth graders purchased colorful hand crafted ceramic bowls, all of which were made and donated by artisans from within the elementary school community and Dew Claw Studios in Pawtucket.
Thanks to the generosity of Whole Foods and United Natural Foods, guests and students enjoyed a meal of delicious soup and bread to celebrate the project completion. After the meal, students and fourth grade teacher Miss Barr illustrated the multiple benefits of service learning and communicated the need to relieve hunger right here in Rhode Island. More than $1,000 was raised for the RI Food Bank in time for the Thanksgiving holiday!
