After learning more about peace and being inspired to share
the message, sixth-grade students in the Roscoe School
District created a traveling peace poster, which recently
made its way to Emma C. Chase Elementary School.
Fifth-grade students at Chase worked with Social and
Emotional Wellness (SEW) Facilitator Joseph Prestianni to
explore the topic of peace. Afterward, each class created a
video based on the question, “What does peace mean to us?”
Watch the videos here:
“It was a lot of fun working with my friends on the Peace
Project,” fifth-grade student Gary said. “I found that when
you are kind to others, they are kind to you in return.”
“It is important for us to be peaceful because it makes us
better friends and better people,” fifth-grade student
Skyler said.
“What I enjoyed most about the peace project was spending
time with my friends creating a video that is funny, yet
more importantly spreading a powerful message, the message
of Peace,” fifth-grade student Luke added. “If we want more
peace in the world, it must start with each one of us.”
