This weeks newsletter article

Due to a variety of things going on at school, things had slowed down in the last two weeks but we are now back on track and looking forward to the 21st!!


------

Just the Facts Please.......

In the last 5600 years there have been only 292 years of peace.

90 percent of modern war casualties are civilians -- primarily women and children.

Conflicts have produced 31 million refugees and other displaced persons, most of them women and children.

War has killed 2 million children in the last twenty years.

By the age of 16, the average American child has witnessed 18,000 murders on television.
(statistics from changingthepresent.org)


Imagine a world where these facts did not exist could not exist, would not exist, a world where peace ruled supreme

It all starts with one individual and one day.....the 21st of September is International Peace Day

Our School community has made the commitment to Peace Day, will you join us?
