Eat Food, Celebrate the Arts and Help the Homeless

How would you like to spend a dinner accompanied by local art and music? 

Tomorrow night, the Newton South High School Arts Program is sponsoring a community service event to benefit Bristol Lodge, two homeless shelters for men and women located in Waltham.

The Empty Bowls event, which runs from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. will feature soup made by Newton South consumer science students served in bowls crafted by students in the Newton South ceramics program. Last year, the event managed to raise $1,450 for Bristol Lodge.

The dinner will be held in the cafeteria and will also feature jazz music from Newton South music students. Bowls are $10 for adults and $5 for students. 

Following the event, guests are invited to attend the Newton South Fall Instrumental Concert, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Newton South's Seasholes Auditorium. The free concert will feature performances by the school's orchestra, symphonic band, jazz combo and jazz ensemble.
