1 September is International Day of Peace. Students at Boris Dînga Middle & High School recognized this day along with students in nearly every country around the world. Students from several grades come together to make a human peace sign. We took this photo in the school gym. Throughout the day, students stopped into my office to select a behavioral pledge that promotes peace at our school and have their picture taken with it. This is part of the international #PeaceDayChallenge. Here, a 10th grader (left) pledges, ”I accept others” and a 9th grader (right) pledges, ”I help others.” Each grade is broken into two or three sections. For example, 9th grade has three sections, 9-A, 9-B, and 9-C. Each section takes all of their classes together, including their weekly ”homeroom” class where they meet with their homeroom teacher to discuss issues, get important announcements, work on class projects, and so on. For Peace Day, all teachers were provided with a lesson plan on promoting peace. In this photo, you see students from 9th grade doing role plays about promoting peace at home and at school. Another teacher & I made a small display about peace, Peace Day, and behaviors that promote peace. This is displayed in a main hallway in school for two weeks.
