Bowling Green Students Celebrate International Peace Day

In honor of International Day of Peace, students of Bowling Green Elementary School in the East Meadow Union Free School District created pinwheels to celebrate world peace.

Fifth-grade teachers were inspired by Jeremy Gilley’s “Peace One Day” movement to educate the world about creating world peace. Students watched Jeremy’s video, “One Day Journey,” and discussed anti-bullying, peace and ways to practice peace in their school. Following the discussion, students decorated pinwheels expressing their feelings and thoughts about anti-bullying and peace.

Students placed pinwheels, a symbol of simpler times, around their school to celebrate world peace.
