SILVER CITY — Harrison Schmitt Elementary in Silver Consolidated Schools was chosen to represent New Mexico in the annual America Creates ornament display that invites students to make ornaments to be hung on a Christmas tree in the White House in Washington, D.C.
Twelve Harrison Schmitt students' designs were selected to be sent to the nation's capital.
"When I saw that it might go to Washington, D.C., and the president could see and stuff, it was like really exciting," said Tatum Schertz, a third-grader and one of the students whose design was displayed at the White House.
