Sample Paths to Peace:

Teachers, Administrators, and other adults:
Mrs. Warden: My path to peace is the family God has blessed me with.
Mrs. Miano: "My path to peace both personal and universal can be summed up by my career choice of teaching young people. In their hands lie the solutions to the future. A willingness to grapple with tough mathematics problems extends into the resolving of life issues that can forge a pathway to peace."
Mrs. Clay: My path to peace is "TRUST Peace @ the Heart of Service"
Mrs. Clay's Husband: I do not know.
