Jana and John Adams of Mayfield pictured here with Lisa Chappell, recently donated this vintage handmade quilt to our district archives. It has been in the Adams family since it was likely won or purchased as a fundraiser for McKinley Elementary School. The blocks feature the names of faculty, community members, 3rd/4th grade students from the 1929-30 school year. We appreciate the Adams bringing the quilt back to our school district. If you have any interesting school memorabilia to donate or share, please contact lisa.chappell@paducah.kyschools.us
