It's official! The Pigtown Peace Pavilion welcomed its first group of students, one of the third grade classes from school 34, on Thursday (11/11) morning. The kids all seemed engrossed in the activities and the staff was outstanding. We're working on scheduling other classes from this school while the "Peace for Me" learning centers are set up.

The art teacher from school 34 came over this afternoon. She brought with her some fabrics from around the world that she incorporated into some of the displays. As you can see from the pix below, this added a lot of color and texture to the room.













Of course, color and texture were both goals when we picked out rugs, too.











We're hoping this will add to the experience kids have when they come in and experience the Pigtown Peace Pavilion for themselves.

The volunteer staff gathered this morning to welcome kids to the Pigtown Peace Pavilion. Unfortunately, it was raining outside so the teachers didn't bring the kids over.

The beginning is near! We're scheduled to have our first classrooms participate in the Pigtown Peace Pavilion tomorrow (Thursday, November 4) morning. Please be mindful of us as the work commences.
