Gainesville Middle School art students spent this week learning about peace, love and understanding.They participated in an international art and literacy project, “Pinwheels for Peace,” that featured them making, then planting the windmill-like paper crafts at a fence near a school parking lot
“I wanted to teach the children about character and that it’s OK to be nice to each other,” said art teacher Christine Noah.
Students in sixth through eighth grades took part in the project, which culminated with International Day of Peace on Friday.
The students planted the pinwheels Tuesday and Wednesday, as Noah was concerned about a rainy forecast toward the end of the week.
