(l to r) BCSD Student Assistance Coordinator Karen Breslawski, Student Coordinators Ashlee Wilmier and Amanda Stroh wait as BISCO Treasurer Andrew Pacitto signs a check for $1,000.
The money was granted after the group recently submitted a proposal to the BISCO Board of Directors. Half of the money will go to help support a peace video (filming and editing) and the rest will help with student facilitator T-shirt costs and some materials and supplies.
The Peace Committee is student organized and student led. The goal is to promote peace, kindness, caring and acceptance – to work to prevent bullying and violence seen throughout society.
In addition to the special video, Peace Day will feature a keynote speaker, Joel Penton, of The Ohio State University, a football champion who will relate the day’s theme to his own life. There will be classroom activities developed which will see about 130 students who will be trained to lead the activitites in classrooms throughout the day. Some of the activities also will be extended to the middle school.
