Quilts of Valor at Wilson High School!

Quilts of Valor

Today was a great day! We had so much fun making quilts and doing something great for the soldiers who have been serving our country! Over 80 kids (and probably close to 100) came out to help sew and put together quilts.
Some...this was their first quilt!

They had little or no sewing experience, and wow!!! I am just amazed at how much they did! Most of the stars were already put together, but the kids sewed them into quilt tops. Aren't they wonderful?

Check out their website...quilts of valor

Their goal was 60 quilts...but, I think it may have been more that they made today!

July 28th SERVE Day

Well,

Today, we went into Long Beach...ha ha..far away from us..actually, just about 15 minutes away...and served at Benjamin Franklin Middle School. It is a charter school in Long Beach, between the Poly High School and Wilson High School District.

We did face painting, and we had a big crowd of kids..and helpers too! We had several kids from Campus Crusades that helped face paint and apply tattoos to the kids who attended the carnival!
We got there at 10:30 and set up under the tree, and it straggled along, but it was really fun. We painted frogs, Spider man, Darth Maul, and several fairies, butterflies and other things...

THE Kids were great! We had so much fun. The guy in the yellow shirt was Ray, and he was from Atlanta. He's an english major. The other girl who helped was sitting across from Ray, and I can't remember her name, but she was from Missouri. She was so cute! I just loved both of them. They were very cheery and friendly and helped so much setting up and taking down. All the kids were just having a good time.

This boy wanted to be a power ranger, and we thought he came out well (Mom did this one)

I got into the painting too..and did a great job!

Mom did this guy too...with the teeth and he closed his eyes and it looked like he was watching everyone ...heh heh....too bad we couldn't tell him to do this in school so the teacher would think he was awake, when he was actually asleep!

3 girls who came out fantastic!

The other tables had crafts and other helpful information like health screening and stuff like that...they even had food and drinks....

I had a great time and it was a GREAT experience! Mom said I am getting better at this, and maybe I might be better...but, it was fun!
