Each year, the Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) holds the Call for the Arts contest, which encourages military-connected students to create interpretations through art of what it means to be a military-connected child.
This year, Annabelle, who was an 8th grader at Liberty Middle School, won the first place award for the Call for the Arts in the middle school age group. Annabelle stated, “As a military brat, I’ve moved to many places, and I’ve met tons of interesting people. I remember the scenic views and snowy winters of New York, the beautiful sunsets and dry climate of Texas, Route 66 in Oklahoma, the wheat fields in Kansas, and the nature of Alabama. I see all of these places as my home, and I’m thankful for the people I’ve met, and the places I’ve seen.”
