Nelson's project, The Haley Story Quilt Project, is a two-year writing and creative arts initiative which heightens student writing skills and understanding of environmental concerns. Students learn to tell stories via journal writing, poetry, song, dance, drawing, and beading. Student writings and drawings will become the basis for professionally bound library books, a beaded quilt, a book of poetry, and original songs.
