Our Family and Community Service class (taught by Mrs. Keierleber) has been working on some pillowcase and pillow and basic quilting projects with Rising Star students. Through the process the students have learned about planning a project, selecting fabrics/patterns, and the sewing process. These projects look great!!! Thanks to Mrs. K for her work and dedication to our students and for sharing this with WildcatNation! Photo: Submitted
