Peacemakers from Franklin Township Public Schools

Present Farewell Banner to Mrs. Kofi Anan

On September 21, 2006, the United Nations will be hosting the International Day of Peace for youth from around the world.  The United Nations General Assembly has designated this day to honor the things young people are doing to bring peace into their lives.

Students from Conerly Road School, Sampson G. Smith Intermediate School and Franklin Middle School have been asked to personally present a farewell banner to the wife of the outgoing President of the United Nations, Mrs. Kofi Anan, on that day.

The ceremony will be held at the United Nations Building in New York City on Thursday, September 21, 2006 from 10am to 12:15pm.

This is an amazing honor for students in Franklin Township.  The presentation to Mrs. Anan will be made exclusively by students from Franklin Township; no other school children will be involved in this ceremony.  Franklin Township’s Conerly Road School peacemakers will be the youngest participants involved in the International Day for Peace. 

Please contact me for further information.

This is HUGE News for not only the Franklin Township Public Schools, but the state of New Jersey, as well as students from all around the world!
