Today we are proudly displaying our pinwheels for International Day of Peace. This project began with 2 Art Teachers from Florida. North students made their own colorful pinwheels last week in art class. This morning the day began with the students giving me their definition of peace and then reading the story, Finding Peace by Amy Ayers. In the book, a young girl asks friends and family what peace means to them. Some said, a walk along the beach, flying a kite, or reading a good book. Our students were encouraged to talk in their classrooms and at home what peace means for each of them. So if you get a chance to drive by the school this afternoon, you will see our pinwheels displayed along with millions of others in the world.
