Cherry Hill Education Association
Camden County educator Jaime Cream from Cherry Hill School District was awarded a $6,000 grant entitled Empty Bowls: Rolling Out Art to Celebrate Culture and Fight Hunger. This is a community-centered ceramics and service-learning project at Cherry Hill High School West. Approximately 250-300 high school art students will use a professional slab roller to create handcrafted ceramic bowls for an annual Empty Bowls fundraiser. The project expands the traditional model by incorporating a cultural dessert tasting competition, where students, families, and community members share heritage recipes while supporting local hunger-relief efforts. Proceeds from bowl sales benefit a local food pantry and soup kitchen. The initiative blends artistic skill development, cultural celebration, and civic engagement, empowering students to use art as a tool for social impact.
