Abdi Yonis, left, and Brian Folsom place the pinwheels that they made on the lawn at Auburn’s new elementary school on Park Avenue Tuesday afternoon.
Pinwheels were made by each of the 336 students during the “Pinwheels for Peace” project. Children discussed issues related to peace and diversity and then incorporated what they thought the word “peace” meant to them into their pinwheels. “When I think about peace, I think about freedom,” Yonis wrote on the back of his project. Folsom wrote “peace is treating everyone exactly the same because some of us may look different on the outside but we are the same on the inside.” Yonis and Folsom, both 10-years-old, are fifth-grade-students in Annmarie Babicki’s classroom.
