February 29th, 2012, we held our annual Empty Bowls event here at Alta High during our spring parent-teacher conferences. The weather was terrible, but we got enough people there to raise $1333.10 for the Utah Food Bank. Students worked hard to get bowls thrown on the wheel, trimmed, glazed, and fired in time for the event. Parents volunteered and helped pick up soup & bread donations, and brought napkins and utensils. Both parents and students volunteered time setting up and helped during the event. When guests chose a bowl, they paid for it (most bowls were $10) and got a bowl of soups and bread with it. Olive Garden, Pei Wei, and Sweet Tomatoes donated soup, and Great Harvest donated bread. Several parents also made and brought homemade soups. Several bowls were also up for Silent Auction, selling for amounts ranging from $10-$50. Some of the auction bowls were made by students, AP students, and myself and my husband also made several bowls for the event. Everyone really came together and worked hard to make this a success, thank you!
