Renee presented a Green Commuter Award to a third-grader who frequently rides her bicycle to school
Being Green really does make a difference, and at Rainbow, kids know it! Over a dozen students at Rainbow Mountain were awarded the “Green Commuter Award.” Each certificate says that this child “recognizes that we can help make the world a better place by commuting in an earth-friendly manner. Sometimes it isn’t as convenient to walk, ride bike, or car pool, but it’s more fun! Thank you for being a role model.” Students who are green commuters also received a packet of seeds from Sow True Seeds, so thanks to RMCS parent and owner of Sow True Seeds, Peter Waskievicz, for donating heirloom seed packets.
“I’m totally surprised and have never been more honored in my entire life…” Those were my words as I proudly accepted the PEACE PRIZE. The Fourth/Fifth grade “Fantastics” are studying twelve different Peace Prize Laureates from all parts of the world through the Peace Jam Curriculum. They learn the biography of each Laureate, his/her region’s geography, history, culture, and political landscape. Most importantly, they learn about virtue and character by studying what makes each laureate a hero, and talking about how they desire to help create a peaceful world as children and as they grow up. After designing and making their own Peace Prize medals, they each nominated someone for a prize and wrote an essay explaining why their nominee deserves the prize. To receive such high regard from these peace-loving children was an achievement that I was honored to receive.
