Have you ever heard of the saying, “It takes a village?” It really does take a village to raise and teach a child. For the past fifteen-plus years, Village Elementary School has had a relatively anonymous member of its village. That honor belongs to fourth grade teacher Ms. McEvoy’s wonderful Aunt Maryann. Aunt Maryann hand stitches a quilt annually to commemorate the “favorite book’” segment of the fourth grade curriculum. First, each child designs a square to represent their book. The students use colorful markers, bits of fabric, and a whole lot of imagination. Then Aunt Maryann works her magic and combines all the squares into a lovely quilt. This year, for the first time, Aunt Maryann sewed quilts for all three fourth grade classes. We’d like to extend a heartfelt “thank you” to our quilting “aunt” and benefactor for the many years and tireless hours she’s dedicated to make and donate one-of-a kind quilts for our school. The Village family cherishes these beautiful quilts—which are displayed in various locations around the school—and sincerely appreciates her hard work and generosity.
