Honoring Service, Crafting Community 🧵❤️

We are so grateful to Wichita Area Quilts of Valor for presenting us with a gorgeous quilt to display in our office! Each stitch represents a deep respect for our military community, and having it in our space is a constant reminder of the strength and resilience of the veteran students we serve every day.

Even better news? This is just the beginning! We are officially collaborating with Quilts of Valor on a custom quilt designed specifically for our department. We can’t wait to watch this piece come together and share its story with all of you.
