Rogers Students Honor and Celebrate Peace Day
![Students sit close together on a gym floor wearing blue paper headbands decorated with peace signs, doves, and hearts, some with the word "peace" written on them. Several students in the front rows hold their fists near their chests while looking up toward the stage.]([{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_1/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":256},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_2/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":512},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_3/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":800},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_4/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":1200},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto,t_image_size_5/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":1600},{"url":"https://resources.finalsite.net/images/f_auto,q_auto/v1790609186/berkleyschoolsorg/utanqwvz4etri2f2tjnh/a84be4a9-e491-4305-b079-9f360d438ea7-img_9275_cov.jpg","width":1800}])
Rogers Students Honor and Celebrate Peace Day
Rogers Elementary celebrated the importance and history of International Day of Peace on Tuesday, September 22, at their school-wide Peace assembly. Students heard stories of peace, the origins of the peace pole (and why Rogers has one), shared peace together with a high-five, handshake, fist bump or hug, heard poems about peace and sang many peace songs together. The crowd favorite was the song “Nothing More,” by the Alternate Routes. The song includes lyrics like, “To be humble, to be kind, it is the giving of the peace in your mind. To a stranger, to a friend... To give in such a way that has no end… We are how we treat each other and nothing more.”
