This year marked the 25th Anniversary of the Empty Bowls fundraising initiative put on by the Dearborn Schools Art Department.
Every year this great event brings the community together to enjoy and appreciate some awesome art “bowls” and good soup at Park Place.
Most importantly it reminds all of us at this time of year the importance of giving to those less fortunate.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
I was excitrd to be asked to go on the Community Based Instruction (CBI) trip with my Smith students.
We walked to the Sav-a-Lot grocery store and students practiced selecting a grocery and then shopping for some pre-selected items that they will enjoy with their families on Thanksgiving. After shopping students interacted with the cashiers paying and receiving the appropriate change and receipt. We then all walked back to school and debriefed regarding the outing.
Great job everyone!!

Reuniting Mr. Golles, a former Smith Middle School Student and current Edsel Ford High School teacher, with an art project he created for his art teacher and football coach at Smith back in 1991.
Current Smith Middle School teacher, Mr. Dobronski, located the art and asked me to deliver it to Mr. Golles who was surprised and excited to see the work which he has not seen for over 20 years!!
