Pinwheels for Peace
Every student at Columbus Elementary had the chance to make and display a Pinwheel for Peace in honor of International Day of Peace celebrated on September 21. Art teacher Lauralee Chambers has been bringing this project to her students for many years to help them understand that everyone can make a difference to create a peaceful world. Schools from all over the globe participated with over four million pinwheels being displayed worldwide! Students are encouraged to write messages of peace on their pinwheels to help spread words of kindness.
The amazing art installation was the backdrop as students dressed in white gathered in the Columbus office and throughout the hallways in honor of International Day of Peace to sing "Peace Like a River" and share their message of kindness. It's an important message and one that is encouraged everyday in Mount Pleasant.
