Remembering Peace Day, 2011

Last Friday, the 28th of January, we celebrated Peace Day here at MAR. It was so much fun! Each class prepared a dance to a song related to peace. After our recess, we all went outside to the blacktop, and each class performed their dance in the sun. The parents watched as well! Each class learned a song in English. The first and second graders learned "If you're happy and you know it," and the older children learned "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin. Teacher Maria José's class recited a children's peace poem, but in English! Overall, we had a wonderful day. Here are some pictures:

-Here are lyrics to the Bobby Mcferrin song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy"

-The children of 5th and 6th grade made smiley face masks for the performance!On one side, they said "Don't Worry" and on the other they said "Be Happy!"


So then we danced, with our posters and our smiley-face masks!

Our message: Don't Worry, Be happy!
Happy Peace Day everyone!
