Concordia chili bowls to help soup kitchen By Meghan Schrader For IN|fort wayne publications
Concordia Lutheran High School students and staff are taking to the pottery wheels for a chili bowl fundraiser for St. Mary’s Soup Kitchen in support of the school’s theme for this year, “United in Service.” What started as an idea from Concordia art teacher Trevor Campbell has turned into much more in the minds and hearts of the school’s students. One goal Campbell had for the project was to give students who didn’t take an art class the opportunity to learn to do something artistic and make art on the pottery wheel. “Then off of that, how they can use their artistic talents to benefit our community and give back,” Campbell said. This is the school’s first semester hosting the fundraiser. They

In this whimsical adventure based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl, the main character is a lonely orphan boy named James who lives with his two cruel aunts. A bit of magic suddenly falls into the boy’s hands and his boring, miserable life takes a dramatic turn toward adventure and friendship. James is given a mysterious pouch which he accidentally drops near an old peach tree. An enormous peach grows and James soon makes friends with the
service project, taking time throughout the semester during lunch and after school to make, trim and glaze five to 10 bowls each. On the day of the event, each participant will bring in a
slow cooker of their own homemade chili to serve to patrons who attend. “This is kind of exciting for us to do and it can help people so much. Just being able to put on a fun event for
our parents and friends to come to and just have fun with them and eat a bowl of chili, but also have it go toward a good cause. It’s really special,” Michelle Frerking, a senior at Concordia High School, said. “This is actually doing See BOWLS Page A10
