| Mueller Students Display Pinwheels for Peace |
|
Spring, TX. On International World Peace Day, September 21, students at Mueller Elementary School placed over 630 pinwheels on display at their school. The display is a public statement about the school’s commitment to being a place where acts of hatred are not acceptable.
|
Ms. Sharon Firestone, principal of Mueller, stated, “In a world where violence has become commonplace and accepted by many as a part of life, we remind students every day that we work cooperatively so that all persons are respected and honored for being unique. In a peaceful environment, students are happier and more successful.“
Guidance counselor Ms. DeeDee Murphy noted, “Seeing the pinwheels lining our driveway is a visual reminder for our students and persons who visit our campus that peace is not just an international issue. We believe that building a peaceful atmosphere at school is necessary for our students to feel safe.”
Because Mueller Elementary School is seeking to become a No Place for Hate campus, the pinwheels for peace project sill be one of its activities for gaining that recognition from the Anti-Defamation League.
Mueller Elementary School opened on August 24. Funds for construction of this school were approved by voters in the Klein ISD when they approved the 2008 bond package.
The Klein ISD is located in north Harris County and has more than 43,527 students in its twenty-six (26) elementary, eight (8) intermediate, and four (4) high schools. Visit the district’s Web site at www.kleinisd.net for additional information about the Klein Independent School District.
