This is Ava Shirley, 4th grader at Woodrow Wilson. Her teacher, Julia Sleeper is pregnant with her first baby so Ava wanted to do something special for her. She carefully selected the fabric and pattern; her grandmother, Ms. Reba, cut it out and pinned it together; then Ava sewed it together. Ms. Reba then quilted it and appliquéd the center piece. Ava presented the gift to Mrs. Sleeper who will share it with her baby girl when she arrives later this spring. Teaching is so much more than meets the eye. We are grateful for students like Ava who share their gifts with us.
