Peace Gathering on Campus
/ Aja AppelToday was game day Friday! For check-in Otters were invited to purchase popcorn from our popcorn stand. Different Otters were charged different amounts for their popcorn, depending on their experience with counting money. Otters were doing tricky math as they counted by fives, tens, and 25s. We had a special meditation time with the Whales today before heading to the Peace Gathering on campus. At the Peace Gathering we held up our peace posters. We talked about how when we all come together, our voices can be amplified. We talked about how peace starts in our own bodies and then can spread to our schools, community, and world. We estimated how many people were in attendance. Most of our estimates fell in the 100-200 range. We also got to meet the organizer of the gathering. On our way back to school we made a peace circle and sang songs of friendship, peace, and love. It has been an exciting week. May you have a weekend filled with rest, peace, and much family time.
