Kindergarten students had the opportunity to draw a monster and name it. They gave the drawings to Mrs. Gittings' high school Family and Consumer Science class. Her class made the monsters come to life and sewed them! The kids were super excited to get a hand made personalized monster. 💙💛 #vikingproud
