Every year, to commemorate International Day of Peace, eighth grade students from Storm Grove Middle School  don Day of Peace T-shirts and “pose” for a very special photo, with the help of the Mischler family, whose daughters are former Storm Grove students.  The family owns a plane and – weather permitting – Mr. Mischler flies over the school as the students in the activity field below form a giant symbol. In previous years, they’ve formed a heart – for Love; a peace sign – for Peace; and a Smiley Face – for Happiness.  This year, with teacher Megan Kendrick at the helm,  the students formed a giant Sting Ray,  in honor of the school mascot.  A “Dress-Down Day” was also part of the celebration.  Each year, students donate $1 for the privilege of “dressing down,” and the money collected is presented to a local charity. This year, Indian River Habitat for Humanity was the recipient of over $300.
