Today, finally, it was Peace Day. After our planning in class and dividing of the jobs, it was what we had been waiting for. Peace Day!
Our Global Issues class sold cookies, collected artwork, had computers to make commitment, and my job, face-painted. People enjoy having their faces painted. Any middle school kid loves the chance to have color all over themselves. So they were really happy and were ready to go promote Peace Day to other people.
While I was working my face painting, I noticed that it was okay to do not just peace signs or hearts, like a friend pointed out to me that you could do a heart with a peace sign in it! During lunch when I was in the Peace Day celebration area, I saw lots of people. (Could have been more... next year!) To do with the rest of the atmosphere, there was talking, there was a smell of cookies, there was a feel of happiness.
Peace!
