Creekview Inspired Ornament Adorns Texas State House
CHS senior, Natalie Buchanan, created a Creekview inspired ornament which is currently adorning at tree at the Texas State House. Each year, House Members are invited to select a constituent to imagine and create a visual representation of what makes their Texas House District special. Furthermore, these artistic endeavors decorate a 23-foot, Texas-grown Christmas tree that stands in the House Chamber of the Texas Capitol. The tree and ornaments will be on display during the holiday season.
Now in its ninth year, the district ornament project has proven to be an educational experience for the Capitol’s thousands of holiday visitors. While enjoying viewing artists’ work, visitors see of what makes communities throughout Texas unique. This year, the tree will be on display from Nov. 29 through Jan. 2.
