An 'historic' artifact nears completion
Posted on June 8, 2010
A group of 45 Pioneer Middle School students have created a piece of history. The students in grades 6-8 in the school's Learning Lab have spent the past two school years adding colorful pieces of fabric to a quilt/wall hanging that features the Old Pioneer School and the New Pioneer School. Begun as a project in Linda Petersen's class, students have added pieces--ranging from details such as the ferry boat to the smartboard to the fabric collage/puzzle. Mrs. Petersen plans to take the quilt home this summer to finish the fine needlework and then return it next year to be permanently displayed in the building.
A dedication on the reverse side of the fabric masterpiece reads:
"Created by the students in Mrs. petersen's Learning Lab. This quilt represents the history and heritage of Pioneer Middle School. We dedicate this to the entire Pioneer Community, staff, students and families--past, present and future."
The quilt is the newest addition to the growing collection of school quilts that includes Cherrydale's "Mrs Orr's Pear Tree quilt, to Saltar's Point's Sesquicentennial quilt depicting Steilacoom homes and famous folks.
