During library time, York Prep's Kindergarten and 1st grade students have been learning about great heroes of black history. Reading about Harriet Tubman, the students learned that communication and secrets were often sewn into quilts or blankets. Students worked hard creating unique patterns and then joining them together to make a class quilt.
