As part of their larger spring Art show, a fundraiser for Clat- sop Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Mickey Cereghino’s art students are cre- ating tens of bowls and mugs for Cereal for Charity, a break- fast iteration of the Soup Bowl Project organized by Clatsop Community College art teacher Richard Rowland. Over the last four years, Ce- reghino has had the spring exhi- bition support a different cause usually through a Mother’s Day Tea event. But his wife tired of him being occupied all Mothers Day each year, he added, so he switched things up. “The biggest factor was that I have two pottery classes, whereas I usually have one,” JOSHUA BESSEX — The Daily Astorian Mickey Cereghino, an art teacher with Astoria High School, removes bowls and mugs from a kiln in the pot- tery classroom. EDWARD STRATTON — The Daily Astorian From left, sophomore Jenna Rudolph and juniors Ryker Helmersen and Brendan Coberly throw their bowls in ad- vance of Saturday’s Cereal for Charity fundraiser for Clat- sop Court Appointed Special Advocates. Cereghino said. “The kids talk about cereal all the time.” This week, his students have been busily throwing, molding and glazing their bowls and mugs/tea cups for the spring art exhibit, which runs from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday in the AHS commons at 1001 W. Marine Drive. Along with the bowls, the exhibit features all manner of visual arts within an 8-by-10- inch parameter Cereghino said he set to avoid a free-for-all. Ev- erything’s going for $20 apiece. All the proceeds support CASA, which students earlier voted to support with their art. “We want to give everybody a fair chance,” freshman Megan Postlewait said Monday, work- ing on a clay turtle. She and oth- er students added that they knew the most about CASA, which provides support for abused and neglected children.
