Alabama NewsCenter — Alabama students’ ornament designs debut as part of national Christmas display

When Christy LeGros saw her students’ artwork adorning the ornaments on the Alabama Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C., she said it left her “awestruck.”

Students from Barton Academy for Advanced World Studies in Mobile designed one-of-a-kind ornaments featuring art celebrating the places and things that make their home state unique. Barton Academy was the only Alabama school chosen to create art for the America Celebrates ornament program, sponsored annually by the National Park Service, the U.S. Department of Education and the National Park Foundation.

The Alabama tree stands among 58 7-foot Fraser firs that surround the much taller National Christmas Tree.
