December 2007

This holiday season marks the third annual holiday student art program. Students from all over Michigan submitted ornaments, large 3-D art displays and garland reflecting the theme, "One Michigan: Celebrating Many Traditions". During the month of December, student artwork decorates the Governor's Lansing Residence as well as the Ceremonial Office located at the State Capitol. Students from 31 participating schools have sent a wide variety of decorations. "One Michigan: Celebrating Many Traditions" provided students the opportunity to create decorative art that reflected the various traditions celebrated in Michigan. Students exercised their creativity as they developed standards-based knowledge and skills. This project was made possible through a partnership between the Governor's Office, the Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Michigan public and private schools, teachers, and artist-in-residence programs.
