• The
Jacksonville Fair Quilt Contest
Click here to view 2004 winners!
This annual event is based upon the September
“Book of the Month”. The books relate to historical
and human relationships such as the Underground
Railroad and the usage of quilt patterns and designs
to send coded messages. Interdisciplinary lessons
are taught which center around math, reading and language arts,
social studies, and the visual arts. Elementary
schools are encouraged to submit a quilt created by
students and designed with the theme of the book in
mind. Monetary awards are provided by the
Jacksonville Fair Grounds Association. |

• “Empty Bowls”
Project
Duval County art teachers and students donate
time and effort to create attractively decorated
clay bowls for the annual “Empty Bowls” Luncheon.
Twenty years in existence, the luncheon is sponsored
by the Second Harvest Food Bank/Lutheran Social
Services. Those attending the ticketed luncheon are
provided a bowl of soup, a piece of bread and fruit,
and a glass of water. Emphasis is placed on the fact
that many homeless people would consider this to be
a thanksgiving feast. All proceeds go towards the
Food Bank in service to the homeless and needy.
Students are afforded the opportunity of giving to
others through the creation of the clay bowl and are
reminded that hunger still exists in our society. |
