“Walking in Peace” will be the theme of ISB’s first schoolwide Peace Day to be celebrated on Wednesday, September 24th. The UN sponsored International Day of Peace is celebrated annually on September 21st, this year a Sunday. Peace Day at ISB will be low key, as befits the theme. Students in all divisions have been busy painting stones and rocks with peaceful words, “peace” in multiple languages, and places in our world in need of peace. These will be placed on both sides of the second floor hallway, to be designated as a “Path of Peace”. The HS students will hold a Peace Day observance in the main library at lunch on the 24th, MS students will have a Peace Day assembly the following week (September 30), and some ES grade levels will practice “walking in peace” along the 2nd floor hallway. We are asking all members of our school community to “wear white” on Wednesday, September 24th as a symbol of ISB’s commitment to peace in our own lives, in our school, in our host country, and in the world.
