The Birmingham-based Roeper School expects more than 300 students, teachers and community members at fundraiser intended to raise awareness of hunger.
The Birmingham- and Bloomfield-based Roeper School will be hosting its 10th annual Empty Bowls event on Dec. 18 to benefit Lighthouse Services of Oakland County. Themed "Give Your Bowl a Face" in 2012, Roeper expects more than 300 students, teachers and parents to attend and participate in the Empty Bowls program. This year's bowls will be created and decorated by Roeper fourth and fifth graders. The Empty Bowls program was started in 1990 at Bloomfield Hills' Lahser High School. There, art teachers were trying to help students searching for a way to raise funds to support a local food drive. What evolved was a class project to make ceramic bowls for a fundraising meal. Guests were invited to keep the bowl as a reminder of hunger …

Roeper and Groves seniors Aaron Keteyian and Ryan Stratton will premiere their film debut, 'Blood Angel,' at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak Thursday.
It began on Facebook: That's where Roeper senior Aaron Keteyian and Groves senion Ryan Stratton met in 2009, connected over their love for cinema and began to collaborate on a film project involving high school, friendship and lots of vampires. Now, three years later, the pair's final film — Blood Angel — will premiere Thursday at the Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak. When Keteyian and Stratton met, they agreed that the quality of most teenage productions was lacking. The goal behind Blood Angel then became, according to the pair, to make the highest quality film possible. That included a strict filming schedule in and around Royal Oak, Livonia, Farmington and Birmingham, including the Roeper Upper School off Adams Road. Stratton, 17, is …
