Cristo Rey St. Martin freshman, Loyal, is making the most of his work-study experience at Kids Rank, an organization dedicated to supporting military children. Currently, Loyal is helping design a yearbook for the group, creating advertisements, and traveling to various places as part of his role.
Recently, Loyal visited the Veterans Art Museum in Chicago, an outing that left a strong impression on him. “They do a lot to make military kids feel like they belong,” he explained. Kids Rank brings together children from military families, organizing activities to foster a sense of community.
One of Loyal’s most exciting experiences was a trip to Washington, D.C. in December 2024, where he had the opportunity to tour the White House. Once in D.C., Loyal and his team explored the White House, admiring historical artwork, and listening to guides explain the significance of each room. The tour was a highlight for Loyal, who noted the great team he works with at Kids Rank.
Loyal’s involvement with Kids Rank not only gives him hands-on experience in design but also a deeper connection to the mission of supporting military children across different communities.
