Holocaust Remembrance Quilt Presented to the Jewish Community Center of the Peninsula

Katie Bookbinder's Yorktown Middle School geometry students transformed a math assignment involving congruent triangles, area and perimeter into a quilt to commemorate the lives of all those affected by the Holocaust. The students presented the quilt to the local Jewish Community Center of the Peninsula on the afternoon of April 7, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The quilt is on display at the Jewish Community Center.
