If you're driving down Camp Bowie in Fort Worth this evening on your way to treat your family to dinner after a long, hard week, you may notice a field full of ... is that pinwheels? Science students at the International Newcomer Academy planted approximately 300 pinwheels on the school soccer field earlier today in recognition of World Peace Day and inspired by the Pinwheels for Peace event.
INA staffers say the pinwheel event not only helps student work through various math and science exercises but serves as a pointer toward the importance of all cultures working together to achieve a common goal. The INA is an intensive English language immersion school for new immigrants ages 12 to 19.
To make your own pinwheel this weekend, visit Pinwheels for Peace for a pattern and Quick-Time how-to movie.
Have a peaceful weekend!
