During the Sept. 21 Levittown School District Board of Education meeting, the Gerald R. Claps Career and Technical Center Key Club unveiled a 10’ x 10’ quilt commemorating the 15th anniversary of September 11, 2001.
The two-year project was constructed with squares depicting the heartfelt and personalized sentiments of contributors including GC Tech students, faculty and community members. The hand-drawn, painted and embroidered pieces of material confer each individual conception relating to the terrorist attacks. Although the students were too young to remember the attacks in detail, they were still able to reflect on this dark historical moment.
The 9/11 quilt will hang on the wall outside of the district superintendent’s office throughout the 2016-2017 school year and will be gifted to the Levittown Public Library this coming summer.
Key Club adviser Lillian Creedon said, “This was our way of honoring all of the beloved lives lost that day.”
