Accompanying this story is a poster drawn by “Megan T.” a student from Prairie City Elementary School. Here is her explanation of her creation:

My poster was a pleasure for me to draw. I made the United States along with Mexico and Canada. All the vehicles and people are supposed to be on their way home. Children are coming home by air, land, sea or whatever other ways they can get there. There is a party in the picture about a kid coming home. All the kids are very happy to get home and see their families. ~ Megan T. from Prairie City Elementary School
