The newly-assembled Winterim News Team traveled down to the bottom floor of the Schoolhouse where “Quilting is Sew Easy” was getting settled to work on the basics of quilting and the “Web Reporting and Social Media” squad interviewed students, asking why they chose this long-standing Winterim.
“It’s a skillset not a lot of people have and just to have it is kind of cool,” Idahlia Baptise ’22 told us. “But then to make a quilt — two actually — I think I’d feel accomplished after that.”
