September 2010
Forty-one OCPS elementary, middle, high and charter schools participated in the Peace Art Exhibit this year! The service-learning project is sponsored annually with our partner, the Global Peace Film Festival, to promote peace, conflict resolution, and nonviolence. The exhibit is part of the academy's month-long peace activities to commemorate the United Nations International Day of Peace, September 21st.
The exhibit was set up September 16, 2010 at Orlando City Hall and ran until September 30, 2010.
The reception and awards presentation was held on September 20, 2010. A large turnout of teachers, students and their parents attended to view the art, celebrate peace and congratulate the award recipients! There was standing room only in the rotunda as Mayor Buddy Dyer addressed the crowd and declared the week of September 19 to 26 Peace Week in Orlando.
