The top three winners of the 1st annual Bowls of Hope Student Video Contest were recognized and awarded gift cards during our MS/HS Chapel on Friday, January 31. The students who submitted the winning entries are, from left — 11th grader Haoshen (Katherine) Kong, 2nd place; 12th grader Mark Rosie, 1st place; and 6th grader Paityn Kates, 3rd place.

The winners were introduced by Upper School Principal Meg McHale and their videos promoting the Bowls of Hope Soup Cook-Off were shown to the students, who applauded and cheered for each video and the students who created them.

To meet the video contest guidelines, each video encouraged people to attend the Cook-Off because it is an event focused on giving back to the community and helping those in need. The proceeds of the Bowls of Hope will go to ACS and the Atlantic City Rescue Mission. The videos also encouraged those who attend to bring canned goods or other non-perishables to donate to the Bowls of Hope Food Drive to benefit the Community FoodBank of NJ, Southern Branch.

The student videos are being posted on Atlantic Christian School’s social media sites on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter and will also be shown during the Bowls of Hope on Saturday night.
