Holiday ornaments created by students from St. Joseph Montessori School are being displayed outside the White House, offering a festive showcase of student creativity as part of this year’s seasonal decorations.

The ornaments, crafted by children across multiple grade levels, were selected for inclusion in an outdoor display that highlights community participation and youth involvement during the holiday period.

School officials said the students designed the ornaments using traditional materials and winter themes, reflecting lessons in art, collaboration and civic engagement.

The project was developed as part of the school’s Montessori curriculum, which emphasizes hands-on learning and community connection.

Once completed, the ornaments were submitted through an open call inviting schools nationwide to contribute to the holiday decorations.

Families and educators described the selection as a meaningful recognition of the students’ efforts and a unique opportunity for young learners to see their work represented in a nationally visible setting.

Teachers noted that the display has sparked enthusiasm among students, reinforcing lessons about creativity, public service and participation in shared cultural traditions.

The ornaments will remain on display throughout the holiday season, joining contributions from schools and community groups across the country.

For the students of St. Joseph Montessori, the moment represents both a festive achievement and an enduring memory of seeing their artwork featured at one of the nation’s most prominent landmarks.
