Lauren was very fortunate to be involved in such an amazing program her 5th and 6th grade year at River Trails. Mrs. Conley created a "Quilting Club" and taught girls and boys...yes boys how to quilt and all of the quilts the children create are donated to a program called The Linus Project. The quilts are donated to area children's hospitals. They set up at Cooks Children's this summer and invited Mrs. Conley to come up and bring what they had made. Lauren was invited along with her friend Taelor. It was rewarding for the girls to see all the other quilts donated and were actually able to watch children come down and pick out what they wanted. River Trails kids donated 16 quilts...that made me very proud. I can only imagine how Mrs. Conley felt. Without her the kids would not have experienced this amazing program. 
What a neat program!!! I LOVE it! Anything for Cook Children's and I will be a fan ;-)
