On Thursday, February 1, students and teachers at Birdwell Dual Language Immersion school, represented their solidarity across the world for peace.  Students wore white and created a giant peace symbol outside the school so large that it could only be captured by a drone.  Students were also encouraged to make paper airplanes and put messages of peace and love on them and throw them in the air.

World Interfaith Harmony Day is observed annually on February 1st. The United Nations established this day to promote dialogue, understanding, and cooperation among people of different faiths and beliefs. Since its inception, World Interfaith Harmony Day has gained global recognition and participation. People and organizations around the world use this occasion to promote tolerance, respect, and peaceful coexistence among individuals from diverse religious backgrounds.

World Interfaith Harmony Day serves as a reminder of the shared values that exist among different traditions and the potential for collaboration in addressing common global challenges. It encourages individuals and communities to appreciate the diversity of beliefs and work together for the greater good of humanity.
