40 Global Issues Students lined up, backs of chairs facing the audience, everyone wearing a hoodie, and face down. Mr. Chemelik held the silence for peace. The music started playing. In the bold stage lights, forty 'gangsters' danced to the song 'Where is the Love'.
I think that we did well promoting peace day. It was a great because it was interactive and I think people enjoyed the dance. It was a good promotion and when everyone was teaching their homegroup the dance, I think that was the best part because it was so fun to watch our homegroup teachers try and follow along and it was fun for the Global Issues students to teach people the dance. It was great for the promises to the peace day website. We sold cookies and had face painting, I think that it was very peace promoting. We had lots of people came in to make promises and we made about 600$ for peace day.
I liked the assembly because it was fun trying to do the dance. I think that it was really great doing this. It helped people and it also helped us become more excited about doing peace day. At first I was thinking "oh great, another charity, can't we just give money?" but then I actually got to do behind the charity and it was so much fun. I would love to do another dance in another assembly to help promote whatever we're doing.
