Kids Show Peace Starts With Them

P.E.A.C.E. (People Exhibiting Appreciation and Compassion for Everyone) week is an effort across the Los Alamitos Unified School District to increase awareness and appreciation among students and staff for the diversity that exists within society.

Each school site selects a daily theme and activity to highlight a character trait, such as courage, respect, or unity. The staff then reinforces the theme through classroom activities and a culminating event at the end of the week.

P.E.A.C.E. Week helps set a positive school culture at the beginning of the school year and is used as a reference for behavior expectations for the remainder of the year. For video highlights of students across the district visit Peace Week in Los Alamitos Unified.
