This is a photo of my sister Judy. One year younger than I am, she just retired from teaching at Tigard High School. She gave me this P.E.A.C.E. T-shirt recently. It was one of the projects she worked on with her classes at Tigard. I am so happy for my sister as she is just beginning her retirement life after 30+ years of teaching.
I have worn this T-Shirt many times. It is interesting how many people notice the words. The ten statements listed are on the back of the T-Shirt; messages that I feel are positive and constructive to help focus on ideas to share peace with others in our everyday lives.

Pati:
I love this Top Ten List. May I share it on my classroom blog?
Thanks,
Stacey
Pati, I love this ... and will immediately be copying and pasting it into a document to bring into class. Congratulations to your sister -- on her 30 years' teaching and on the start of her new journey.
Pati,
I could of used this t-shirt today! Some of my students wanted anything but peace.

That's a wonderful list. Also, congratulations to your sister! Erik went to Tigard High (20+ years ago) and had a great experience -- great teachers there, for sure!
Please feel free to use these ideas in your classrooms. Judy said, "The important thing is that the students came up with this..I loved that part of teaching, encouraging them to think, plan, create. It's amazing what they can do."
As usual,
It's a pleasure to click over here and experience what you have to offer the blogosphere.
I love the photo and the list.
Bonnie
