Blair Elementary School to Participate in Pinwheels for Peace

WHAT:
Blair Elementary School students will celebrate International Peace Day by participating in the Pinwheels for Peace program so that students may express their feelings about peace in the world and community. Each student will create a pinwheel, one side showing words of peace in a variety of languages, and the other side showing a visual representation of what students feel about peace. The pinwheels will then be paraded in a "Walk for Peace" around the school building. Following the parade, students will congregate on the school’s front lawn for a "waving of the pinwheels" and a display of student efforts to attain peace at Blair and throughout the district.

The teachers and staff at Blair aim to share in the efforts to make students more globally aware and literate about worldwide peace and how to become citizens who promote tolerance, cooperation and harmony.
