June 13, 2013 began the 100 days count down to the International Day of Peace (IDP), observed annually on 21 September. IDP is dedicated to peace, and specifically the absence of war and violence, such as might be occasioned by a temporary ceasefire in a combat zone for humanitarian aid access.
1981-1982
In 1981, The United Nations General Assembly declared, in a resolution sponsored by the United Kingdom and Costa Rica,[2] the International Day of Peace, to be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace.[3] The date initially chosen was the regular opening day of the annual sessions of the General Assembly, the third Tuesday of September. This was changed in 2001 to the current annual celebration on 21 September each year. The day was first celebrated in 1982.
Individuals can also wear White Peace Doves to commemorate the International Day of Peace, which are badges in the shape of a dove produced by a non-profit organization in Canada
2001
In 2001 the opening day of the General Assembly was scheduled for 11 September, and Secretary General Kofi Annan drafted a message recognizing the observance of International Peace Day on 11 September.[5] That year the day was changed from the third Tuesday to specifically the twenty-first day of September, to take effect in 2002. A new resolution was passed by the General Assembly,[2] sponsored by the United Kingdom (giving credit to Peace One Day) and Costa Rica (the original sponsors of the day), to give the International Day of Peace a fixed calendar date, 21 September, and declare it also as a day of global ceasefire and non-violence

Excerpts from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Day_of_Peace

| Casady Lower Division 2012 |
Through detailed analysis conducted with the support of McKinsey & Company, the Peace One Day 2012 report found that, across the world, 280 million people in 198 countries were aware of Peace Day 2012 – 4% of the world’s population. The report further estimates that approximately 2% of those people (5.6 million) behaved more peacefully as a result. Peace One Day expects to double those figures for 2013, creating a solid foundation for informing 3 billion people about Peace Day by 2016.
The achievements of Peace One Day’s work in 2012 have not only set an important marker for Peace Day 2013 and future Peace Days, but have also reinforced the value of this unique annual day as a foundation for long-term sustainable peace.
Peace Day 2012 Summary Report
Peace Day 2012 @ Oklahoma City
Contributed by Joan Korenblit, Respect Diversity Foundation and Carmen Clay, Casady School
Contributed by Joan Korenblit, Respect Diversity Foundation and Carmen Clay, Casady School
On September 21, 2012, International Day of Peace, students throughout Oklahoma City participated in a variety of activities that culminated at the annual Oklahoma City University Multicultural Festival and a1,000 Pinwheels for Peace Garden sponsored by a diverse group of Oklahoma artists, educators, the Respect Diversity Foundation, and the Friends of the United Nations of Greater Oklahoma.
Students from Dove Academy at Oklahoma City University learned from activities facilitated by festival chairs, Mikel Ibarra, Joan Korenblit, and Japan America Society education coordinator Dr. Gigi Hu. After viewing and reflecting a short trailer on “Peace One Day” and “On a Paper Crane, Tomoko’s Adventure,” students made origami cranes for peace and wrote Haiku poetry. Before planting pinwheels made at their school, they walked through a peace labyrinth, learning about the importance of quiet meditation from Labyrinths in Oklahoma writer Gail Peck.
5pm on 9/21/2012, a dozen co-sponsoring organizations and a large drumming circle welcomed hundreds of participants to the Multicultural Festival. Participants in Shinnyo-en Foundation’s Six Billion Paths to Peace T-shirts enjoyed artists from a variety of ethnic traditions. The grand finale was a dance of peace with audience participation. Said author Michael Allen, “This festival and the many activities during the eleven days of unity, 9/11-9/21, happened because people of diverse cultures worked together and decided that we CAN make this a more peaceful world.”
From creating pinwheels for peace encouraging a global truce on violence, to participating in service-learning projects, thousands of Oklahoma students were immersed in dialog and action of a shared sustainable culture of peace, economic justice, and environmental stewardship from 9/11-9/21!
Oklahoma Centennial High School observed the shift from “I” to “WE” with curricular connections. “It was challenging and rewarding to collaborate with core teachers and administrators. My students created peace key chains, because they are the key to change, a “new green” cleaning product, and are currently finalizing their service-learning project reflection on how to make a real difference and impact the world in which they live” said Career and Technology instructor, Carrie Renfro.
Kindergarteners at Mercy School enjoyed a diversity story-teller and discussed what they learned. “We’re all different, just like the crayons in the story, and we’re all important!” exclaimed five year old Mohamed.
At Piedmont Middle School and Western Oaks Elementary School, students learned about the impact of choosing a path of kindness over bullying. Piedmont Art teacher Frances Williams explained, “From their discussion, it was obvious that this unit had a great impact on our students!” “This conversation is making an important difference; it will continue,” stated Western Oaks art teacher Staci Craven.

From K-12th grade, Casady students pledged their commitment to SEE PEACE in acts of kindness, service, and non-violence.” Older students also viewed the video by Jeremy Gilley, PEACE ONE DAY before pinwheel making. Carmen Clay, Service-Learning Director, stated, “Students realized that this day is working because it is saving lives and creating a desire for intentionally kinder communities and a self-patrolling non-violent way of life.” Anne Josette Hill, Casady freshman, commented, “I personally befriended a former rival over a pile of half finished pinwheels.” Primary Division Director, Mrs. Jane Sharp stated, “Dr. Montessori said, ” “Averting war is the work of politicians; establishing peace is the work of education.” ” Every day our teachers are involved with this important work of peace by showing grace and courtesy to each other and to the children so that they may then show peace to others. We will be celebrating this important date every year with our youngest students here at Casady.”

YAC Begins New Decade
The Class of 2013 marks the end of the first 10 years of implementation of the requirement for graduation (Class of 2004-2013) and expands YAC's role as an advisor and facilitator of service opportunities. In the year 2013-2014, YAC will LEAD (Leaders Engaging Across Differences) school wide projects honoring the Points of Light Foundation National Service Days .
YAC's History
From 2000-2004, an intergenerational Service-Learning Committee advised the director about the creation of the process and documentation for ONLY direct service, away from the Casady campus credit.From 2005-2010, YAC became an action council. YAC started introducing service-learning to teachers, became proposal and reflection audience for student's certification of hours and co-facilitated site visits resulting from freshman class service-learning Fridays sessions. Direct, indirect, research, and volunteerism on campus and in the greater Oklahoma City community received credit. Inclusion of all division started with a competition during Students Against Hunger -Casady Cans Do Food Drive. The Pinwheels for Peace project,a collaborative effort between the service-learning program and the 4th grade class, expanded to include all divisions of the school.
From 2011-2013, YAC became a service connection to STUCO, faculty, coaches, and students initiatives. YAC lost its connection to reflection and co-facilitation of freshmen orientation to service-learning because proposals and reflection were no longer required and changes in schedule did not allow service learning Friday sessions for freshmen anymore. YAC supported existing projects as well as inspired YAC members to create new ones.
The first is Reflection. Who are we? what do
we believe? what baggage and what narratives do we bring with us from our lives
and the lives of our families? How do these pieces of our identity form us and
inform us? This part is really important because unless we know who we are,
where we come from and how that supports and challenges the work we do in the
world, it is hard for us to move on from here.
The
second part is connection. We need the skills to be able to connect with others
who hold very different beliefs than us. Whose stories and experiences give us
a very different perspective on the world? If we only surround ourselves with
people who look like us, think like us and operate like us we never see the
whole picture. We are always missing pieces that are essential as we try to
repair the world.
The
third is Action. While the first two parts are critical, until all our
reflecting and connecting translates into action – it will never get us where
we need to go. This Action however needs to be intentional. We need to ask deep
questions about what is and is not working and think creatively about why and
how to fix it. WE need to take all the information learned in parts one and two
and draft it into organized, intentional work. Projects that have a clear
vision, committee work that honors product and process, meetings that are
focused and where all voices are heard and allowed. It is our belief that if all three of these parts are
in place, our service takes on a whole new level of excellence and we can begin
to repair the way we communicate with each other and the way we serve the world. From Tabitha May-Tolub, Chapel Speech.
In 2012, the YMCA-OKC, the Casady Service-Learning Program, the Respect Diversity Foundation, CAIR, and Mercy School joined hands to bring the Youth LEAD online program to Oklahoma City under the umbrella of the YMCA. Founding teen member and Casady student, Sidney Jones attended her first TIDE (Teens Identity and Diversity Education) conference and recommended the program as needed in our communities.
YAC will continue to support student and faculty project initiatives, but in addition, YAC Youth LEAD OKC teens will enhance their LEAD skills during Casady YAC meetings.

Summer Volunteer Opportunities and YAC @ TIDE Conference
 |
| The Teenage Identity and Diversity Education Conference May 24-26, 2013 |
Teens from Sharon planned the 2013 Conference divided into teams with specific goals.
The recruitment team brought participants from Mass, Rhode Island, Maine, New York, Arizona, California, Texas and Oklahoma.
The logistics team developed the conference schedule, hired two awesome people for Saturday night's program and finalized the food and accomodations details with staff from Stonehill College.
The facilitation team met every week since the winter to develop the Saturday workshops to have conversations about how participants can transform fear and misunderstanding in their communities.
The TIDE Experience
In 2013 participants were divided into family groups, named after sea creatures. The family groups aimed to promote relationship building, reflection, and took care of logistics and safety.Friday activities aimed to unite and create a safe environment through ice breakers. In 2013, the big icebreaker was a combination Holi and Capture the Flag, Hunger Games style.
On Saturday, teen facilitators from Sharon provide a full day of workshops. In 2013, the workshops aimed to introduce Youth LEAD's theory of change which is to "transform fear, mistrust and polarization into social cohesion and collaborative problem-solving by inspiring and mobilizing youth leaders to reflect upon their beliefs, connect with others across difference, and act together to address local and global change.
Workshop 1: Reflect: Safe place and individual connections to the theory of change and feel comfortable voicing opinions on identity and personal fears. Workshop 2: Connect: Better listening skills using clarifying questions and other Youth LEAD core skills. Additionally, participants learned what makes these skills difficult and useful.
Workshop 3: Act: Usage of skills learned to help eliminate personal fears with social cohesion
Then, participants were energized with traditional Mande music and dance by Joh Camara, dancer, choreographer and drummer.
Saturday evening after the family groups met, there was an incredible display of talent at an Open Mic event where participants shared their passion for music, poetry, and story telling.
On Sunday, participants attended workshops facilitated by Sharon teens and teens from all over the country.

Mrs. Carmen Clay, Community Service-Learning Director presented a special award involving service in the curriculum,
The Casady Service-Learning Program entered a national
competition seeking outstanding programs integrating service in the curriculum
sponsored by the Center for Spiritual and Ethical Education and was recognized
with the second place plaque for "some truly
fine and innovative work being done at Casady School with service integrated in
the curriculum.
Academically rigorous private schools from across
the nation participated. The Center's
selection committee stated, " The mission of
Casady School’s service program is to cultivate well-educated individuals who
are also “entrepreneurs of peace and social change.” Though students are
required to serve 45 hours over their high school years, many surpass this
minimum, finding motivation in diverse opportunities and student-led
initiatives. In addition to many faculty-led service opportunities, Casady has
a student service council, YAC, that does great work collaborating with school
clubs and sports teams on projects. Casady students have also developed their
own award-winning service-learning experiences, like Sow Love Zambia, which has
raised money to build schools in Zambia, and Students Against Destructive
Decisions, which inspires students to be involved in positive endeavors.
On the theme of integrating service with
the curriculum, Casady has impressive initiatives across divisions.
In the Upper Division, projects featured in the
application as great examples of service in the curriculum were:
Blue Thumb Project, Mr.
Mark Delgrosso, in which science students monitor water quality and
affected habitat in local streams.
K-Senior Literary Exchange, Mrs. Whitney Finley and Dr. Janet
Hubble, in which seniors and kindergarten students share authored children story books.
Peace One Day, Dr.
Carlos Torres Rodriguez, Mrs. Mary Anne Cockrum, and Mrs. Joanne Jew, in
which students connect language learning to the International Day of Peace, a day for wide-scale community action, and for United Nations agencies and aid
organizations to safely carry out life-saving
work.
Arts -4-Causes, Mrs.
Phyllis Seitter, Mrs. Megan Thompson, Mr. Larry Moore, Mrs. Jana Heidebrecht,
Mrs. Jeanmarie Nielson, Mrs. Stephanie Crossno, and Mrs. Lynn Robertson.
Metaphor Project, Dr. Bonnie Gerard, in which
senior English students facilitate an interactive learning experience of metaphors for Lower
Division students.
Projects in other divisions featured in the application were:
In the Middle Division, featured projects were:
Stories of Hope: Dreams, Duty and Destiny, Mrs. Stephanie Crossno and the 8th grade team.
11 Days of Unity, International Day of Peace: Mrs. Lynn Robertson, Mrs. Shannon Semet, Mrs. Melody Hubbert, and Mrs. Sarah Zedlitz
In the Lower Division, featured projects were:
The Fair Trade Chocolate Project, Mr. Jeff Bush and the 4th Grade Team. The CSEE committee stated, "The Fair Trade Chocolate Project in the lower school teaches students about social justice and environmental stewardship, as they sell fair-trade chocolate and donate the proceeds to charity. The project is woven into the curriculum in so many ways: graph skills in measuring sales, awareness of business concepts such as expenses, gross sales and profit, language arts skills in reading about the topic, art skills in recreating West African Adinkra symbols – art from the region where their fair-trade chocolate originated. This project and others at Casady are great examples of service through cross-discipline collaboration."
Arts-4-Causes: Mrs. Sue Scott and artist in residence, Mrs. Patt Webb
In the Primary Division, feature projects were:
Pinwheels for Peace-International Day of Peace: Divisional project facilitated by Mrs. Pat Czerwinski and Mrs. Jane Sharp
Recycling & Green Gifts for Elderly Pals: Mrs. Pat Czerwinski
On Thursday May 9th, on behalf of the UD Community Service-Learning Program, Dr. Bonnie Gerard presented the second place plaque recognizing outstanding work in service connected to curriculum to our headmaster, Mr. Chirstopher Bright.
