Pinwheels for Peace

So, Our students at Rock Springs were able to participate in an International Celebration that supports Peace around the Globe!  We participated last year but this year was a much bigger deal.  In remembrance of the 9/11 tragedies Pinwheels for Peace requested for those participating to place their pinwheels out early for a total of 10 days, from 9/11 to 9/21. The 21st was actually the International Day of Peace, but our Pinwheels whirled in the wind for those 10 days. We had a great time doing it and talked about Peace.  What is it, Why is it important, and how sometimes we have to sent soldiers and others to other places to help them fight or get Peace where they live.  It was a great chance for students to take time and have an appreciation for the wonderful country we live in and for the things we have in our life that help us to be healthy, happy, and productive members of a growing and diverse society.

Great thanks to the scouts that came up to school on 9/11 to help me put out our Pinwheels!  A great group of boys who were able to earn some community service time for helping with our fabulous Pinwheel display! Great Job guys!
