November- A month dedicated to peace

   One of our wonderful Glenridge traditions is dedicating the month of November to peace.  We ask students to create peace within themselves, at Glenridge, and outside of Glenridge.  We kicked off November with a special CLAYMO dedicated to peace at Glenridge.  Our 5th grade leaders facilitated a conversation about how we can be peaceful within ourselves and through our day at Glenridge.
   Adults at Glenridge are taking special care in recognizing peaceful behavior and choices.  We are giving out peace loops-colorful loops students wear on their wrists for the day, symbolizing the peaceful "deed" they contributed to our community.  At the end of the day, we collect peace loops within our classroom and add them to a chain.
   We had an especially peaceful day yesterday- check out our chain for just one day!  Ask a 3rd grader what they could do to contribute to peace!
