Montessori Children Singing Peace Around the World
Join with Montessori schools around the world to celebrate International Peace Day!
Our children will be singing "Light a Candle for Peace" this Thursday, September 21.
To know children from all over the world are singing together with the same purpose on the same day, simultaneously, is exhilarating.
Our beliefs and our actions must be more global, in spite of borders and boundaries. Let us help our children unite in striving for peace and a healthy planet.
Please forward this information to other school heads so they can share in this opportunity for their children to join in singing Light a Candle for Peace!
We look forward to hearing the beautiful sounds of children's voices in many languages rising up on September 21.
Find your time zone to know what time to sing by clicking on the register button below and scrolling to the bottom of that page.
Thank you and peace to all of you!K.T. Korngold
Hispanic Heritage Month Observed by Google Doodle today.
The power of dance is such that it can convey an entire culture.
In 1952, Amalia Hernandez founded the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, a unique dance company whose goal was to illustrate the diversity of Mexico.
Hernandez, whose would have been 100 on Tuesday, created a dance style that stemmed from her work as a choreographer at the National Institute of Fine Arts, Mexico. She combined formal training in modern dance with traditional Mexican folk dance to create a style known as baile folklorico.
In 1952, she founded the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, a dance troupe consisting of just eight members. In 1954, the troupe performed on TV and found such success that it was later featured in a weekly broadcast, choreographing a new dance each time. The group then toured North America and represented Mexico in the Pan American Games in 1959.
Hernandez died at 83 in Mexico, the country she celebrated through dance. Her dance lives on as the Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, which still performs today.
