Peace Week at Barnesville, January 9-13

Each January, Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences celebrates Peace Week with lessons and activities that honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. while also exploring the broader concept of peace that inspired and guided him. This year’s theme is “Let there be peace on Earth and let it begin with me,” reinforcing the idea that to have peace in our home, school, and communities, we need to first look inside ourselves and our individual abilities to cultivate and spread peace through our words and actions. We will focus in classrooms on how peace is something we make, something we do, something we are, and something we share. We will culminate our week with our annual Peace and Candle lighting Student Assembly on Friday with each student making a promise for peace and reflecting on the question, "what will I do for peace today?"
