Our talented Art 3 students put their creativity to work for a cause by hand-building ceramic bowls for the Annual Empty Bowls Fundraising Event, benefiting the Clay County Salvation Army.
Through their artistry, they are helping to raise awareness and funds to fight hunger in our community. We’re proud of their hard work and compassion!
