This day will focus on
the main message "BE the change!". Mahatma
Gandhi helped to lead India, now the world's largest democracy, to
independence with very little violence. Gandhi said, "Be the change
that you want to see in the world."

Wear blue today in your
school, community and workplace to show that together we CAN be the change
in making our communities safer and more respectful places to live, learn,
work and play!
Former Canadian Prime Minister Lester
B. Pearson won the Nobel
Peace Prize for his work in establishing United Nations Peacekeepers,
who wear blue as a symbol of peace as they perform their work around the
world.
Action Ideas:
- Hold a school dance
to celebrate the week
- Hold a special school
assembly to honor your school's "Caring Kids' and thank members
of the community who supported your efforts
- Have the entire school
population (wearing blue of course) meet on your school's playground,
sports field other large area in order to form a heart or spell the
word "P E A C E". Invite the press to take photos from above.
- Screen any videos that
were produced this week, have students share the poetry or music.
- Create a large mural
or wall that students can sign to promise that "Everyone has the
right to be respected and the responsibility to respect others"
- Take the (anti-bullying)
pledge together
