Proposed Measurable Outcome(s) 
We will help others less fortunate by feeding them a hot meal and in a handmade bowl that they keep. For the 2012-2013 school year Spectrum is planning on incorporating a ceramics studio in to our school. Making this an amazing opportunity for our staff to ask questions and gain a better understanding of the intricate workings of a ceramic studio.The students will meet many markers along the way of planning our event such as researching local organizations, volunteering at the food shelf (5 hrs), budgeting our expenses, planning transportation, and creating a presentation about our journey as a group. The smiles on faces, ours and others will be the true measurement of our achievement.
