A program with the fourth and fifth grade honors chorus, led by music teacher Allyson Allen, sang a lively rendition of ‘Put On A Happy Face.’ Ellen Henderson, representing The Foothills Quilters, spoke to school officials and students about the log cabin block.
“The log cabin block, hanging here at O.P. Earle has been a favorite design for American quilts for over 150 years,” Henderson said.
