THIS WEEK AT ADELPHI: Adelphi Academy of Brooklyn students collaborated on a very special House project to illustrate the diversity and unity that exists within the walls of Adelphi. This Story Quilt project, inspired by artist Faith Ringgold, involved students creating illustrations capturing their own unique interests, backgrounds and personalities, then combining them with those of their housemates to form a beautiful, colorful collage in the shape of a quilt. Here are some highlights. Stay tuned to see the final results!
