OUR BOWLS OVERFLOWETH BOWL & SOUP SALE |
Mrs. K is thrilled to share a sneak peek of the beautiful one-of-a-kind bowls that will be available at this year's Our Bowls Overfloweth event. Each of these were handmade through the talents of the Tar River Potters and, quite proudly, our Mudbugs. This special event that directly supports our fantastic art department takes place on Jan. 16, 2025 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. when you can stop by the school and pick up one or more of a variety of homemade soups for dinner. Your soup and bowl ticket for this event provides you with a handmade pottery bowl and a 32-ounce container of soup that serves 2-4 people. The soups will be frozen for our use anytime. Additional bowls or soups can be purchased. Each bowl, created by a JPII student or teacher, is a work of art and is guaranteed to be one of a kind. Dinner made easy! |
