Stone Soup Night @ Cole: Stone Soup night was inspired by the folktale, “Stone Soup.” The moral of the story is that if we all work together and share resources, life will be better for all people not just a select few. They are only be selling 200 tickets, so act fast! Tickets are $5 per student/child under 14 and $10 per adult. In addition to a soup dinner, drinks and dessert the ticket price includes a hand-painted soup bowl. The Global Studies students will be performing an original play entitled, “The Birth Lottery,” based on the idea that where you are born determines the quality of life you will have. Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit children in developing nations. Questions/comments? Please contact [email protected] or [email protected].
