Peace Committee
The mission of the Peace Committee is to serve as an inspiration and resource for the teaching of peace, humanitarianism, and global citizenship in Montessori venues and beyond. Members are responsible for carrying out various group peace activities related to communications and networking, service learning, international connections, and more.
All who wish to be involved in this dynamic work are enthusiastically welcomed. Please contact Sonnie McFarland, committee chair, or the individual group leader in charge of the peace activity that is of the most interest.
