Pinwheels

So back in September, Kirst had the job of organizing a schoolwide event called Pinwheels for Peace. This is an event that expresses our school's commitment to promoting peaceful actions and philosophies to our students. It also allows students to show their concepts of what peace is to them.

The students were able to make small pinwheels out of paper, chopsticks, pipe cleaners, and beads in classes. Depending upon the grade level, they had to do some class discussions, research, or higher order project to further promote peace around the world.



The most interesting component, is that thousands of schools all over the world were doing the same thing. This wasn't a Chinese activity, it was a global activity!

Praise to Kirst for all her additional efforts to make this even go smoothly, effectively, and worthwhile for all the staff and students. She made it real and easy, often a challenging concept for adults! Way to go KJPT!!!
