Selected members of Peaceful Coalition took part in the 2012 Peace by Piece Youth Summit at Fall River Government Center. It was a great day to meet students from other school and work together toward a common goal in our communities to eliminate violence and create peace.

National Youth Violence Prevention Week Activities!
Peaceful Coalition was excited to again take part in National Youth Violence Prevention Week! We were part of presenting and leading peaceful activities at our local elementary school about nonviolence, creating bulletin and morning announcements about youth violence statistics and ways we can each be more peaceful this week, and creating a Pledge for Peace that students and staff were able to take all week while adding their name to our Peace Wall. It was a great week that allowed us to further educate many about the importance of peace in our homes, schools, and community!
Peaceful Coalition Presents to Elementary School Children
Peaceful Coalition members had a great time providing peace activities at Spencer Borden Elementary School for their Kindergarten and First Grade classrooms. We explained the purpose of Peaceful Coalition to the children, created a peace circle in each classroom, sang songs about love and friendship, read books about peace and loving yourself, and lead an art activity about our peaceful and safe places we have in our lives. The children were so much fun to work with, and we were so happy to share our message of nonviolence with them!
Peaceful Coalition Members Prepare for Elementary School Presentation
Peaceful Coalition members met after school today in our first of 3 meetings to prepare for an anti-violence and bullying interactive session we will be having with grades K and 1 at the local elementary school. Members are excited to work with the young children to help them start recognizing small acts of violence that happen even at their age, while encouraging peaceful actions to be a part of their everyday lives.

Peaceful Coalition Given Presentation to Encourage Positive Choices
Peaceful Coalition members were part of a select audience at B.M.C. Durfee High School that heard from 4 inmates from the Dartmouth House of Corrections. Stories about negative choices and consequences were heard by all as a means to lead students down a positive path in school and beyond. It was a powerful presentation, and we are very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to hear these speakers.
