Students make ornaments for Christmas
October 9th, 2009Like Santa’s elves working quickly for the upcoming holiday, for the last two weeks, a handful of fourth- and fifth-graders at Payson Elementary School in Arizona have busily been creating ornaments for the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree.
This is told by the newspaper The Payson Roundup.
All of the ornaments created will be placed on the U.S. Capitol Christmas tree. This year, an 85-foot blue spruce is being harvested from the White Mountains in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest.
Known as the “people’s tree,” it is placed prominently on the front lawn of the U.S. Capitol and decorated with 5,000 custom ornaments from around the state.
The students at Payson Elementary hope the five ornaments they create will proudly display Arizona for the country to see.
