Mrs. Hooper, a sixth-grade ESL teacher at Melvin H. Kreps Middle School, had students create a heritage quilt. This featured the flag of the country the students were born in, how to say hello in their native language, and a favorite cultural food OR cultural celebration! The students then presented their quilt piece to the class, and they put it all together to make something beautiful!

Join us in thanking our amazing teachers and students who bring the arts to life every day.
