One Million Bones

Update:  Ms. Hudson and I had the pleasure of attending the One Million Bones event this weekend at the National Mall.  It was a powerful and humbling experience.  It was very exciting to see this large scale project to completion. 









I am very excited to report that we had over 100 students and staff members show up today to participate in our "bone making event" for the One Million Bones Project!  Thanks to Ms. Hudson, Interact Club members, Ceramics students, and staff members,  we have made over 200 bones!!!!  

One Million Bones is a collaborative art installation designed to recognize the millions of victims and survivors who have been killed or displaced by ongoing genocides and humanitarian crises in Sudan, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and Burma.  The mission of One Million Bones is to create a visible movement that will increase global awareness of these crises while raising critical funds to protect and aid displaced and vulnerable survivors.

On behalf of Ms. Hudson and myself, I would like to thank everyone for their participation.  We are proud and honored to work with such amazing students!  Everyone did a spectacular job for such a worthy cause.  Thank you to all of the staff members that participated and helped promote our event.
