On September 21st, students and staff came together at Kells Academy to participate in the International Peace Day Assembly and celebrate with messages of compassion, collaboration, and goodwill. During the assembly, our students recited the Kells Peace Pledge, and each class made their own presentation about inspiring and encouraging the idea of peace around the world.
After the assemblies, students participated in the Pinwheels for Peace Project, which featured personalized pinwheels of their own design planted outside as a visual representation of peace. The Spirit Committee also got to work and put the finishing touches on a new Buddy Bench, which gives our students a place to sit at recess if they find themselves in need of a buddy to keep them company.
