Island schools celebrate Peace Day

A brisk sunny day greeted students from the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School as they ran outside with shouts of joy to celebrate United Nations (U.N.) International Day of Peace.

The Charter School celebrated the day, also known as International Ceasefire Day, on Friday, and spent the entire week leading up to it learning about the creation of the U.N., its 17 sustainability goals, and the U.N. theme for 2018: “The Right to Peace — the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at 70.”

The idea to celebrate Peace Day was implemented by Peter Steedman, who is in his first year as the school’s director. Steedman got the idea from his former students at Sturgis Public Charter School in Hyannis.
