The National Art Honor Society at Atholton High School is hosting “Empty Bowls,” a community fundraiser for Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center, on Wednesday, March 28th from 5 to 7 p.m., in the cafeteria. Admission is $10 and includes a soup and bread dinner and a ceramic bowl. Soups are made fresh and donated by faculty and parents at Atholton.
The ceramic soup bowls have been created by Atholton High students. All of the proceeds from the event go to Grassroots, Howard County’s only 24-hour crisis center and homeless shelter.
The National Art Honor Society was founded by the National Art Education Association to inspire and recognize students with an outstanding ability in art and to bring art education to the attention of the school and the community.
