Whiton Elementary 2nd Graders Go “Bowl”-ing to Fight Hunger By Jason Torchio On May 17th,Whiton Elementary School hosted its annual Empty Bowls Project benefiting The Food Bank Network of Somerset County. Students and staff alike put their artistic skills to work transforming clay to beautiful bowls that were then raffled off to an enthusiastic audience. Proceeds from the raffles and a silent auction totaled $4,219. In addition to the money collected, 1,271 boxes of macaroni and cheese were donated to help feed the children of Somerset County over the summer. Volunteers packed their cars to deliver the boxes – with perfect timing. Once there, volunteers were informed that The Food Bank Network had recently run out of macaroni and cheese. “Summer can be an especially challenging time for families with young children who during the school year may receive free food service from their school. By helping to ensure our community members are not faced with an empty bowl at meal time, our students have learned a valuable lesson in caring,” said Rebecca Gensel, Principal of Whiton Elementary School. “I am extremely proud of our kids and the success they brought to this project.” Using the bowls they had created for the project, the second graders were treated to ice cream provided by Sundaes Sweet Shop of Branchburg to celebrate their accomplishments.
