Bowl Buddies Work on Onekama's Empty Bowl Project 2003

The Empty Bowl Dinner is a very good way to raise money. This year we are raising money for the Ed Hommer foundation. Ed Hommer was a cool guy who proved you can do anything you want to do if you set your mind to it. I also had fun working with the 3rd gaders. For their age they are very creative and will really be something some dayl. I had fun working with them. ...Kayla Miller

I enjoyed helping the 3rd graders make bowls for the empty bowl dinner. It's cool knowing that I;m helping younger kids do something for charity. Watching the 3rd graders try to make the bowls was really fun. They have such different personalities - some were quiet and worked really hard to make theirs look good, others were talkative and didn't much care. For the most part I think they had a good time and it's nice to know we can help others. ...Megan Mattson

I enjoyed working with 3rd grades to make their bowls for the empty bowl dinner. The only problem was that they gave me a hard time. I got to know a couple of them because they communicated a lot! They did a good job in trying to shape their bowls. I think that the bowls turned out well and they are going to be sold easily. The Ed Hommer foundation will be proud to see all of the cool work that we have put into this dinner. Leeane Harju

When I helped the third graders make their empty bowl dinner bowls it was really fun, they act so much different from us. Their sense of humor is way different too. Being with them brought back memories of when I was in 3rd grade and the way we acted. My 3rd grade partners were all very cool kids! None of my kids were really bad, like some people had their kids act. ...Ashley James

The Empty Bowl dinner is an excellent idea to raise money for Ed Hommer. Ed Hommer sounds like a great guy and I thought it was good how he followed his dreams. I also think its a good idea to make bowls. It gets the school involved. I enjoyed working with the third graders, when we had to make the bowls. I think they had a lot of fun. I hope there is a big turn out at the Empty Bowl dinner. ... MaryLynn Bradford

Helping the third graders make bowls was actually fun. They seemed really excited to work with us and they did a great job with their bowls. I think that it is a great idea to make all the art students create bowls that people are paying to buy them and that see the money is going to Ed Hommer's foundation. ...Aude Vontomme, exchange student

I think that the empty bowl making was a good switch from the usual things we do in class. It was fun making the bowls using the cookie cutters to make animals. Also the empty bowls are for a good cause, in that it raises money for charity for Ed Hommer. I don't like playing with clay too much cause I don't like to get dirty, but it wasn't too bad. ...Dan McElreath

I thought that making the bowls was a lot of fun and helping the third graders was challenging, but fun at the same time. It would have been nice to get to keep our bowls, but knowing that it is going to a charity was a good feeling. It was nice because we haven't done much with clay this year and I liked the change. ...Brandy B

Making the bowls for the empty bowl dinner was pretty fun. I only had time to get on of mine done. Helping the third graders was fun because you got to feel what it was like being the teacher and showing them how to do something they weren't so good at. It was also fun because you knew what you were making them for. The Ed Hommer foundation sounds like a good thing and something we need to help out. Overall the while project was fun. ...Josh Kosiboski

I think that the Empty Bowl making was a valuable and fun experience. It was also a great feeling to know that I was helping third graders make art sculptures for a charitable cause and at the same time being a model to a third grader. ...Soren Kenny

Working with the third graders and helping them make their bowls was great. it was fun because they were watching everything I did and they were asking me for help and everything. I think that having this Empty Bowl dinner for Ed Hommer is a great idea. I went to the dinner last year and it was good,. There were a lot of people there. ...Stephanie Keith

I think it was kind of fun when the third graders came in. Most of them knew what they were doing anyway, and time flew by very fast. We didn't have to concentrate on anything, and I think that made it fun too. I could slack all I wanted, as long as the third grader I was helping got his bowl done by the end of class. ...Matt Martz

When I made a bowl, I actually enjoyed it. I got to create a bowl how I wanted, I got to make designs on it that I enjoyed. I wish I could have my bowl, but instead I had to make it for the empty bowl dinner which is fine because I'm raising money for Ed Hommer. This foundation is a Great foundation. I wasn't here to help the 3rd graders, but that would have been quite interesting. I like making my bowl. ...Ashley Correll
