Our First Annual Empty Bowls Dinner was a tremendous success. The students, HSES Staff, and parents worked so hard to pull off this meaningful event. I am very proud of this new tradition we have started here at our school. My 2nd through 5th grade students made the bowls in partner groups and glazed them with a partner. By the time a bowl was complete, 4 kids had worked on it. Kindergarten through 5th students made the napkin rings and center peices. Each family that attended was served a delicious meal, enjoyed some great local entertainment, and got to pick out a bowl to take home. Here are some pictures of students working to put together this event.

The last week has been stressful to say the least. You may need a Virtual Spirit Week to make it a little less stressful and LOT more fun, especially for the kids. :) My daughter's school is doing something similar while they are closed. Parents are posting pictures on the school's Facebook page, but you could also have parents email you the photos, create your own private group on Facebook, or maybe even create a private Instagram and put the photos in your story for all the kids to see. Districts have different rules about using kids' pictures, so use it however you'd like, but have fun with it! You can grab the sample in the picture above HERE. Or use this EDITABLE version to come up with your own fun days! (or if you want to do it multiple weeks!)
