A fellow quilter, Jones said in a news release from Block Builders that the school district has "never received such a timely and generous gift. It is practical too."
The district will give the donated quilts to students in a way to protect their privacy, but the quilts will come with labels sewn onto the back of each that can be filled in with a child's name and the date the quilt is presented to them.
Schrag, a former school teacher, said in the group's news release that, "It is our hope that by giving a quilt, the recipient will feel valued and loved. We are planting seeds of hope for that child’s bright future."
