[Eastsound, WA] – [11/11/23] – Art for Orcas Kids (A*OK), a program of the Orcas Island Education Foundation, is thrilled to announce its Orcas Island School District Middle School art classes' selection to craft unique holiday ornaments for the 2023 Governor's Mansion tree.

The opportunity arose as art classes statewide were invited to contribute ornaments for the Governor's Mansion holiday tree, themed "favorite sports" by First Lady, Mrs. Inslee. The K-12 student-created ornaments will grace the mansion throughout the holiday season.
