Whirled Peace


 


The buzz has started. All of the students are taking part in our very own version of Pinwheels for Peace. The International Day of Peace ("Peace Day") is observed around the world each year on 21 September. Established in 1981 by unanimous United Nations resolution, Peace Day provides a globally shared date for all humanity to commit to Peace above all differences and to contribute to building a Culture of Peace. We obviously are a little late but will honor the thought of World Peace with our very own Art installation.

"Whirled Peace" will be installed (weather permitting) after school on the grassy area in front of the school on November 2. I hope to leave the display intact for the week (again, weather permitting). Once taken down, all pinwheels marked with the student name and grade will be returned to the students. If you wish to join the installation, the image below should be printed on a sheet of cardstock and decorated before attaching to the eraser of a new pencil. I will have a collection box under the table at the front door. Message me with any questions 


Welcome to a New Year of Art fun!!  After a COVID year of teaching from a cart, I am SUPER excited to be returning to my classroom space!  L...
