AHS artists serve Cereal for Charity
By EDWARD STRATTON
7KH'DLO\$VWRULDQ
Astoria High School’s art
students have cereal, coffee, hot
chocolate and a good cause for
breakfast Saturday.
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

School, removes bowls and

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.
