Walnut Farm Upper Elementary Students were recently hosted by Ozark Montessori Academy Upper Elementary Students. It was such a pleasure to get a tour of their beautiful campus, and to have some time together to play and dance and learn about native plants in a presentation by Education outreach coordinator Mel Zabecki from the University of Arkansas Archaeological Survey. Thanks especially to teacher Meredith Larsen and administrator Autumn Sawyer for the kind hospitality, and to the fantastic students who gave us the tour. We hope you all visit us soon! ...

September 21 is globally observed as the International Day of Peace. It is designated by the United Nations General Assembly and marks an opportunity to celebrate the ideals of peace around the world.

Dr. Maria Montessori was a pioneer in several realms and championed women’s rights and peace through education. She was eventually nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times. When we observe the International Day of Peace we are observing her commitment to education for peace. Montessori wrote, “If one has grown up with a veneration for humanity, one will not consent to become an unconscious, destructive force to destroy humanity. Men will not lend themselves to those erroneous ways which foolishly destroy the creators and maintainers of everything that provides for their existence. They will be unwilling to use the supernatural and universal powers which they possess for a cosmic cataclysm to destroy the fruits of civilisation. Having developed a conscience and sentiment towards human life, they will be incapable of cruelty; for cruelty belongs to a dead soul.” Here at Walnut Farm, we hold these words as truth each day in the way we work with children and encourage them to be in this world.

Today we gathered around the peace pole together. We wore those shirts we created from a community peace sign we made together at From Roots to Wings last year. And the children celebrated peace
Through joyous song. We are grateful to them for sharing their voices for peace with us. Here are the elementary students singing Peace Grows One By One and Two By Two and Four by Four...

And, really, it does. ... See MoreSee Less

At our Roots to Wings Picnic in the spring we created a peace sign together; it is used in the design for our fall t-shirts. The shirts will be printed on United Nations blue to further symbolize Montessori’s dedication to peace. She was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times and the value is fundamental to the pedagogy. We are hoping that all children will wear these t-shirts when we gather together on Peace Day September 21. In order to ensure delivery and distribution by Peace Day, the order link will close on Monday, September 3. Thank you for your support.
