Creating Friendships for Peace
Dr. Warren Muir, scientist, environmentalist and humanitarian came to speak with the Jame Foley Legacy Curriculum class about his involvement with a non-profit organization, Creating Friendships for Peace, that connects young people from conflict zones through a host program with American families. CFP has made a difference in conflicts ranging from the war in Northern Ireland, Cyprus and most recently, Palestine. Students had the opportunity to Skype with, Idil Cazimoglu, a graduate of CPF Cyprus who is pursuing her PhD at Oxford University and discuss youth leadership and global citizenship.
Dr. Muir also had prepared for students a brief video message from a young man, Maisam, whom he tutors every week in English. Maisam lives in an enclave/village of Hazaras in Quetta, Baluchistan, Pakistan.
Through sharing his stories, pictures and connections to youth leadership for peace, Dr. Muir's discussion left students inspired and empowered. We will be reflecting often on his comment, "I learned that individuals can change the world. You just have to jump in and do something."
The James Foley Legacy Class hosted an important fundraising event to support Syrian Refugee Children. The class showed the award winning documentary Ketermaya, on Thursday, January 23rd. Donations were generously matched by KRHS Student Council totaling over $500.00 to Help Syria’s Kids.Org. Kingswood students engaged in global citizen and made a difference in the lives of Syrian refugee children.

Scholastic Art Competition
|
This year, three of our high school art students, Hope Drenning, Charlotte Hardy and Lyan Sam, submitted a total of seven drawings and paintings to the Scholastic Art Competition. The Scholastic Art Competition is a highly competitive program that recognizes creative expression and artistic achievement in our schools. It is the largest and longest running recognition program for young people in the United States. Over 2,000 art pieces were submitted by grades 7-12 art students from throughout the state and approximately 1,000 won awards. 182 of these artworks were given Gold Key recognition and will represent NH at the National Competition. 4 of these Gold Key artworks belong to our Kingswood students.
We are proud to say that all three students received awards on all of the work they submitted. All three of Hope Drenning’s artworks received Gold Key recognition. She also won the Dorothy Messenger Scholarship for her comic “Inventing Honor”. Lyan Sam received one Gold Key award, one Silver Key award and an Honorable Mention for her three pieces and Charlotte Hardy received a Silver Key award for her painting. Their work will be on display at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH until February 16. |
