It was International Day of Peace last Sunday and today the middle school assembled on the soccer pitch and formed a human peace symbol The idea for this event came from a 5th grader who wanted to send a symbolic message about the school’s support for International Peace Day. After assembling as a peace symbol, students and their teachers enjoyed a moment of silence to reflect upon global conflict and the individual role they might play in making the world a more peaceful place. The event ended with the singing of Give Peace a Chance led – spontaneously – by a 6th grader.
