Tim Hammes
Bowls for BrainPower is dedicated to Burnsville High School Art Teacher Tim Hammes, who believed that many people taking small actions can make a BIG difference. Tim, who passed away in March of 2016, created Bowls for BrainPower as a means to support ISD 191’s hunger project, BrainPower in a BackPack. He saw it as a way to involve students and volunteers in an art project that would make our community a better place for children.
Tim enjoyed creating beauty, and each item is a work of art. Tim received his art degree at the University of Minnesota Duluth, and achieved his Master’s in Education at the University of Minnesota. He spent his entire teaching career in ISD 191, at Burnsville Alternative High School, Nicollet and Metcalf Junior Highs, and Burnsville High School.
Bowls continues to strive to achieve Tim's vision of making a beautiful difference through art.
