This is one of the 2 assemblies that I really look forward to each year at Brycen's school. On a very small scale it kind of reminds me of the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. All the kids line up behind the flag of the country that they represent as their home country. They then march into the gym and each grade shows of their Peace project. It is very moving and nearly brings me to tears. Without getting all sentimental, I really think that all children should be exposed to such diversity especially when it comes to different countries. It is truly amazing to sit and watch all these kids from all corners of the world laughing, playing and singing...they know the true meaning of PEACE.
Today at the assembly Brycen received a Global and Community Appreciation award. This was given to recognize him for his outstanding work in caring and sharing. I was so proud of him!
