CHALK4PEACE CHALKSTARS: St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

This is our very favorite mermaid of all time with CHALK4PEACE.

Silver Raven, a mighty artist, firespinner, eco warrior, and events coordinator, has been encouraging CHALK4PEACE on the island of St. Thomas for years; she has passed the stick of chalk (or truly in her case, the torch) to the VI Montessori School and Peter Gruber International Academy. She has done  a beautiful job of organizing and documenting the events so that we could share these expressions of joy and peace with you...

One of the first schools of CHALK4PEACE...Woodlawn E.S. Alexandria, VA

These artists from Woodlawn E.S., Alexandria, VA were lucky enough to work with Marielle Mariano, Arts Specialist from Arlington, VA who now coordinates the East Coast CHALK4PEACE Project and who has organized and attended more than 60 C4P events in the past 10 years! A veritable Force of Nature, Marielle has developed a comprehensive TEACH PEACE lesson plan that combines disciplines, courses and media to help her students be highly informed when it comes to the concepts and history of Peace and Peacebuilding.

She has organized and attended more than 60 events on behalf of CHALK4PEACE.
