Staff Paper Quilt

The school district I teach in does a program called CARE for Kids.  It's all about inclusion, community, and positive reinforcement. During training our staff (any employee in the building not just teachers) made a paper quilt.  Each square is a different staff member.  On their square the individual was supposed to include tidbits about them self such as what they do in our building, or what their hobbies are, a picture of them self, and their name of course.  Ours has been up for 3 years now and as people leave I take down their square.  Newbies are supposed to make one for me to fill in the holes but they do not always follow through.  Lots of people stop and look at this quilt as they come into our building and get an idea of our school community.

This is my square!  I use my own scrapbook paper to tell a little bit more about my personality.  The kids really do enjoy looking at them and asking me questions about my images.  Some of the teachers do a smaller class quilt at the beginning of the year to fill their bulletin board and let other class in on a little bit of their community.
