Peace Fair 2011

On Friday May 13, 2011 the Peace and Justice Studies classes hosted a Peace Fair at the Rosthern Elementary School.  Groups of RJC students organized age appropriate activities that promoted peace and justice themes.  The event was a great success, with learning and fun all over the place!



Luke and Clay instruct the tots about the importance of water conservation.

Evan helps students rebuild after the destructive 'lego war'.

Zac and John teach kids about the trials and tribulations facing child soldiers.

Kiersten and Kate teach about the principles of fair trade with the use of chocolate chips and cookies, a sure hit!


Students painted peace slogans on rocks.  The rocks were used to anchor the origami peace tree in its vase.


Stuart leads some youngsters in a rousing rendition of 'Peace is Flowing Like a River'.

Cole and Ryan demonstrate how fun biking and scootering can be.  We don't always need to go places in vehicles, right Cole!?

A big thanks to everyone who helped make this a successful event!
