Whirled Peace

Have you wondered what the enchanting collection of pinwheels in the grass near the school's main entrances are for? Our Art teacher, Mrs. Webb, had each child at school create a "Pinwheel for Peace" and plant it in front of the school on International Day of Peace, which was September 21. The students wrote their thoughts about war and peace, tolerance, and living in harmony with others on one side. On the other side, the students visually expressed their feelings through drawing, painting, etc. You can find out more about the Pinwheels for Peace project at their website here. Thank you Mrs. Webb for allowing our students to experience this program!
