All 4th grade or 9 year old students, living within the boundaries of the Sequim School District, are invited to create an ornament to help decorate the Holiday Tree to be on display in the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar Street. The tree will be up from December 1, 2017 through the first of January, 2018.

The theme for all student-created ornaments is Nature’s Creatures. Any materials are acceptable for the ornaments as long as they are dry. No live entries, candles, batteries or flammable materials are allowed. Ornaments can be no smaller than 2”x2”x2” and no larger than 5”x5”x5”. There are no color restrictions. All ornaments must be presented with a loop (wire, ribbon or cord) for attachment of a hanging hook.

Ornaments are to be delivered to Sequim Civic Center on Monday, November 27, 2017 between 2:00pm and 4:00 pm. If needed, arrangements for an alternative delivery day or time can be arranged. The Tree Lighting and Official Reception for all student participants and their parents will be held in conjunction with the First Friday Art Walk on December 1 from 4:00pm to 6:00pm.

All students will receive a commemorative card as a Thank You remembrance for their participation when their ornaments are returned in January. No financial compensation will be offered to any participant.

The third annual Holiday Tree decorating event is sponsored by the Sequim City Arts Advisory Commission. The goal is to continue this as an annual event for all 4th grade and 9 year old students within our community.

Full participation details and information is available on the City website at http://www.sequimwa.gov/. Flyers are being distributed through the Sequim School District 4th grade classes, the Boys & Girls Club, and at selected shops in downtown Sequim.
