Buy Your Shirts (Adults & Children)
Below is the link to Peace shirts for students and parents. They come in a variety of styles and colors and you can choose your own! They are the same as we’ve worn in past years so you can reuse what you have. Order any color/style you would like for you and your children, but be sure to order soon to make sure you receive your shirt before the 21st. They are on sale today!! PEACE DAY SHIRT
Join the Walk!
Are you available to walk with us from school to Bayview Park? Parents of Primary, Elementary, and Middle School are invited to meet us at your child’s campus at 8:45AM to help with the walk and enjoy the ceremony. If you are not able to join us and/or want to lend a hand in another way, we will need wagons to cart tired children back to campus after the event.
