Empty Bowls Event
Maharishi School students hosted our 3rd annual Empty Bowls event on Sunday, January 21, in the School's Courtyard Kitchen. Each of the 135-plus people who attended enjoyed four varieties of delicious soup in bowls of their choosing. Both the bowls and the soup were made by the students in their 2nd quarter project class. Emily and Mike Cantafio performed jazz standards, contributing to the warmth of the community gathering. The students raised over $3,500, which went to the Lord's Cupboard, a local organization, and Action Against Hunger, an organization that serves people around the globe.
