That's a Wrap!
 
Mrs. Madden's 3rd graders were the final group to try their hands at quilting. Altogether, there were roughly 65 quilting squares prepared for the master quilt - well done! Thank you to Tara Freund and Allison Giffin for introducing these students to the art of quilting, and to all our parent volunteers:
