MADISON — Blessed Sacrament School in Madison’s theme this year is about being a peacemaker.
The theme, “Peace Begins With Me,” was incorporated into the intermediate unit’s annual bonding party in September.
As a team-building activity, students spelled the word “PEACEMAKERS” by placing cups in the church and playground fences. They also formed a human peace symbol on the playground.
Here are comments made by the children about the activity:
- “We really think it will help our school and the people around us to become peacemakers.”
- “We hope it lasts all year so that when people walk by they know that our school is a place of peace.”
- “If everybody acts like a peacemaker, it would change our world and that’s what God and Jesus would want from us.”
