Spreading Spirit of Sharing with Community Through Peace Day
Let’s look back on the September Spirit Day of SISS in this video:
On September 20, the SISS campus was adorned in shades of blue as Jaguars and teachers wore blue shirts to school in celebration of Peace Day.
As one of the important Spirit Days in the SISS community, Peace Day 2024, with the theme “Piece of SISS: Peace in Heart,” aimed to raise awareness of world peace, spreading humanitarian values of love and compassion.
These meaningful messages were integrated into learning content and experiential activities throughout the event, including decorating bulletin boards, designing banners, and assembling white dove models.
In addition, the School used the funds raised from the students’ blue shirt activity to contribute to the national fund to support the disaster relief efforts in areas affected by Typhoon Yagi.
