PEACE IN THE PASS

Third-grade Explore students at DeLisle Elementary School celebrated International Day of Peace by participating in the Pinwheels for Peace Project. Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project that gives students the opportunity to make a public visual expression of their feelings towards war, peace, tolerance, cooperation, harmony and unity in the world and in their lives. After creating pinwheels that contained visual representations of their feelings, the Explore students took a walking tour of downtown Pass Christian and distributed their pinwheels to city offices and local businesses and made presentations requesting the businesses display their pinwheels Sept. 21, International Day of Peace.
