Students make 250th anniversary quilt and learn American history

MOSES LAKE — Mount Rushmore, Uncle Sam, the White House and the Statue of Liberty are among the American icons immortalized in thread by the students at AIM School in Moses Lake. Students at the school made a star-spangled patchwork quilt with American historical scenes and symbols embroidered on it. “One of our subjects is history so this year, because of the 250th celebration, we’ve been doing the top 10 events in history from the time,” said School Director Kortni Nelson. “We’ve covered 10 major events from signing the Declaration of Independence to national landmarks.”
