As we celebrate International Peace Day, we want to share the inspiring journey of our Upper Elementary students at The Post Oak School. Our goal is to nurture young minds and instill the values of global citizenship. This year, our focus for Peace Day centers on the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a call for peace.
