A few years ago, my son Eli and his 4th grade classmates had the great fortune of participating in Mr. John Hunter's "World Peace Game" at Venable Elementary School. A local filmmaker, Chris Farina, captured the experience for a documentary ("World Peace...and other 4th grade achievements") that's about to be released. Stay tuned -- click here for more info.
On a related note, from the Interfaith Cooperation Circle of Central Virginia:
Thousands of communities in countries around the world will celebrate their commitment to a more peaceful, just and sustainable world on International Peace Day. Locally, this celebration will take place on Monday, September 21, from 7:00 to 9:30 PM at The Unity Church, located at 2825 Hydraulic Rd, in the Charlottesville area. Performances will include peace-related music, stories, and poetry offered by people from our community, including some well-known talent. The event is co-hosted by the Interfaith Cooperation Circle of Central Virginia, a URI affiliate, and the Unity Church, along with several partners, in a local effort to create a world-wide culture of peace. Donations are welcome and will support awareness of interfaith cooperation locally and globally. For further information, see http://interfaithcooperation.org/events/

My kids loved the World Peace Game.
We really miss Mr. Hunter at Venable. What a great teacher.
