Students in Mrs. Milam's English 2 and 7th Grade English classes recently celebrated Black History by reading a story about Harriet Tubman. We learned about the Underground Railroad and signal quilts, which were used to alert slaves about how they would make their journey to freedom. Students created a quilt square depicting a secret signal. Interesting observation-- the boys enjoyed the stitch work much more than the girls!
