Welcome to the First Grade Peace Class 

     "Be the change you wish to see in the world."  Mahatma Gandhi

 

"It is not enough to teach children how to read and write and count.  Education has to cultivate mutual respect for others and the world in which we live, and help people forge more just, inclusive and peaceful societies."
