Just after September 21st, Our club's Peace Champion was delighted to receive an e-mail from Janelle Hittel, principal of Kildala Elementary School, Kitimat's first Rotary Peace School. Students has faithfully marked the United Nations International Day of Peace every year since 2011, the year it first met the Peace School's criteria. Here's what she shared, "We did it a bit different this year as our school start-up was different. The first 2 days of school the students went into groups and worked on Peace Day activities and read Peace Day stories. We even practiced a Peace Day song to the tune of BINGO. We also painted rocks and added them to our school garden. Just wanted to let you know that Peace Day wasn’t forgotten here we just didn’t do an official assembly this year ☺"
From those of us in Rotary, thank you for remembering peace.
