Today, students at Holy Family will be taking part in a nationwide initiative for “whirled” peace. The students have created pinwheels that hold messages of peace and will be placing them on the school lawn.

Holy Family event coordinator and second grade teacher Nikole Strano said a parent introduced her to the idea.
