My mom saw a need for the kiddos at my school who take naps daily. Kiddos mostly used towels that we provided for blankets before my mom got involved. She made over 100 quilts for students to use! Megan, Jacob, and Emily helped when they were at Grammy's too. Donations from family, friends, and Target helped finish the project as well! It's amazing to go into the rooms at rest time and see everyone cuddling up to their quilts!
Here are the quilts out for display before our assembly. Megan was able to skip a little school to come over and help present the quilts! A Target representative was also there to see it all in action!
It turned out that the gym was very very cold on the day she presented the quilts so we ended up handing out the quilts to students to snuggle up during our "Hard Working" assembly!
Shoney was able to get her own quilt too!
We re-enacted the Little Engine that Could for our assembly!
The quilts made the paper!
Allie is my friend's daughter who absolutely loves Shoney! For some reason the blog is turning the picture but oh well! It was a great time!
