Hey everyone- tomorrow (Friday) is the International Day of Peace. Last year, from Woodbury, MN, my students participated in a Peace Day activities. We wrote poems and essays, created "pinwheels for peace" and had a moment of silence along with thousands of other people worldwide. This year, our school in Honduras is participating with a march carrying banners, posters, and "pinwheels for peace" and we are gathering all of the students into a huge peace sign.
On Friday, you can participate by taking a minute of silence at noon (this will be an on-the-hour event, as noon comes at different times around the world). During this time, you can send your prayers and hopes for peaceful solutions in our world.
