On September 19, 2008, (because September 21 fell on
a Sunday) the International Day of Peace, the students
and faculty of Jane’s Montessori Academy re-dedicated
our Peace Pole. The words “May Peace Prevail On
Earth” are inscribed on it in four separate languages:
English, Spanish, Yiddish and Hindi. The words were
also translated into Malaysian, Japanese, and
Malayalam. The students shared songs and yoga poses
with their family and friends. The faculty, students,
family and friends then all shared a meal which
showcased the various cultures which were present.
Our Peace Pole is one of more than 200,000 Peace
Poles around the world, including one at the North Pole
and one at the Pyramids in Egypt. The Peace Pole
Project was started in 1955. They are a hallmark of
Montessori education. Simply put, Peace Poles serve as
a marker that a particular location is dedicated to
promoting peace.
The International Day of Peace takes place every year
on September 21st. It is a day when individuals and
organizations around the world make efforts of all kinds
to secure a more peaceful world.

"Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to
force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse
him to his innermost core."
