Today is INTERNATINAL PEACE DAY!
According to the UN.org, “Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The UN General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace…The 2020 theme for the International Day of Peace is “Shaping Peace Together. Celebrate the day by spreading compassion, kindness and hope in the face of the pandemic. Stand together with the UN against attempts to use the virus to promote discrimination or hatred. Join us so that we can shape peace together.”
This year is the 5th Year our school will be participating in PINWHEELS FOR PEACE, an art project that began in Florida many years ago. The idea of using pinwheel art to spread the message of peace has spread across the country and the world. I am proud to have my students participate in this project each year. Our WOS community will be displaying our pinwheels this FRIDAY, September 25th! Let us use our “art powers” to help spread the message of Worldwide PEACE, LOVE, & KINDNESS! You may plant-your-own pinwheel at home or plant it in front of our school!
If you do not have art class with me this week, you may check out my Pinwheel Lesson posted in your google classrooms!
Stay CREATIVE, PEACEFUL, and COOL!
