The Children's Room is proudly displaying beautiful
Storybook Quilts made by the Merrimac Valley Quilters Guild.
The Quilts are exact replicas of ones found
in popular children's books.
Come and see The Rag Coat by Lauren Mills come to life
and read the story of Minna who is laughed at for her coat of scraps, until she tells the stories behind the pieces.
Or read The Much Too Loved Quilt by Rachel Waterstone in which the students in Room 213 learn an important lesson
as the special quilt the class has made is changed
when each child takes it home.
The Merrimac Valley Quilters Guild has generously
donated the use of these quilts as part of their outreach program. Stop by and see how beautiful they are!
