La necesidad: ¿Cuál es el problema que tratas de solucionar?
Our need, within our school, is to develop a student body that is focused in on the needs of others in their communities, is empathetic to those needs and is actively involved in creating solutions as to how they can care for those needs. It is important to us that our students are the fore front leaders in these endeavors. As an Imagine school, we value student choice in decision making understanding that we are inspiring future leaders in America.
La solución: ¿Cuál es tu solución? Sé específico.
In our Souperbowl of Caring, classrooms collect cans for our local hunger center and work on projects that meet the needs of others in our community. When our students enter Kindergarten, they choose a care group that they would like to care for. Students research the needs of their group and collaborate with their classmates to come up with a project that would best address those needs. As the students move up each grade level, they write reflections on how they have cared for their group in the past, what the needs are currently and how they can better reach out in the coming year. Students present their care projects at our Souperbowl of Caring pep rally in which we celebrate their outreach to others.

Our solution makes a difference through high student involvement. In her written reflection, one of our fifth graders commented that “the Souperbowl of Caring has helped me to care more about helping others and the environment”. She has participated in the Souperbowl of Caring for three years now caring for the environment. In their first year, they sought to plant and care for trees. The second year they raised money for organizations that supported the environment. This year they made their care project more service oriented by cleaning litter around school grounds and city parks. When asked if the Souperbowl has helped her to understand the needs of the environment more and develop a heart for caring for the environment, the same fifth grade student responded by saying “definitely! I didn’t care as much before but now I really do”. Her growth is not only seen in her comments and reflections, but in the progression of her classes care projects over the years from minimal involvement to service oriented projects.

Several organizations donate to hunger centers, plant trees in local parks or hold assemblies honoring our community leaders, however our endeavors are vastly different. The Souperbowl of Caring is entirely student run. It’s a reflective process from year to year that our students use to evaluate their own character and their own efforts in reaching out to their community in which they live. This event empowers our students with responsibility and decision making offering them an opportunity to truly get to know those they are serving while developing a committed heart as opposed to a one time thought.

Impacto social
Esta presentación se trata de
¿Cuál ha sido el impacto de la solución hasta la fecha?
To date, we have collected over 6,000 cans for a local hunger center in our area. Each year we restock this center with our donations from Souperbowl of Caring. Since each classroom is responsible for caring for a different care group in our community, over the past three years our students have continued to meet the needs of community service members, veterans, active soldiers from our area, the elderly in our nursing homes, teachers, parents, city parks and streets, city schools including our own, and our city government. Our outreach through this event is wide spread and lasting as our students continue to see how they can better meet the needs of their care group from year to year.
¿Cuál es tu impacto proyectado para los próximos 1-3 años?
We project that next year we will be able to donate double the amount of cans that were donated this past year. We also project that our impact on the community will be much greater than in years past through the implementation of service learnning projects for our older students.

Our physical education teacher was looking for different ideas that could inspire our students in leadership and character development when she came upon the Souperbowl of Caring. Although the Souperbowl of Caring is a nation wide event, she had the vision of making it personal and relevant to our campus. Normally, Souperbowl of Caring does one service project as a school. She envisioned each class doing a care project each year that focused on one specific care group so that our students could develop more ownership and have more involvement impacting greater portions of our community. Her hope was that upon graduation, students would develop a heart of caring for one specific group allowing them to be more sympathetic to others in need.
