The Ichabod Crane High School Art Club is hosting an "Empty Bowls" supper on Tuesday, February 7 from 4:30-6:30 pm in the ICHS cafeteria. The public is invited to enjoy a delicious simple meal at this community event and take home a ceramic bowl made by Ichabod Crane students. The bowl serves as a visible reminder that people go to bed hungry every night.

Admission by cash donation includes handmade bowl, soup, bread, and beverage. The ceramic bowls have been created by members of the Art Club and students in Ceramics classes at ICHS. All proceeds from this "Empty Bowls" supper benefit the Valatie Ecumenical Food Pantry. In case of bad weather, the snow date will be Wednesday, February 8. For more info, call 758-7575, ext. 4026.

The Ichabod Crane High School Art Club makes the awards and poster for the OK5k. In turn, the OK5k donates funds to them that they use to buy the supplies they need to make the soup bowls for "Empty Bowls." This is the fourth year of this cooperative, community event.
