TWIN FALLS, Idaho — First-graders at Bickel Elementary School in Twin Falls started the year with what seemed like a simple craft project, but it turned into something much bigger when their handmade ornaments were selected to hang on the White House Christmas tree.

Principal Jorge Pulliero delivered the exciting news to students last week, asking them if they remembered their beginning-of-year project before revealing the surprise.

"They are going to be hanging on the White House Christmas tree," Pulliero told the cheering students.
