The Gooden School, Sierra Madre, CA held their CHALK4PEACE event on
Sept. 25 as the entire school joined in for the second year to chalk
it up for peace. They began their event with prayers and the reading
of quotes concerning peace then spread out in groups of older and
younger students who covered all the sidewalks and the playground
behind the school. John Aaron of CHALK4PEACE attended the event,
thanking the school for their participation and encouraging the
young artists to embellish their peace symbols with their visions
for a better world. Well done, Gooden!
