Pinwheels for Peace is an art installation project started in 2005 by two Art teachers, Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan, who teach at Monarch High School in Coconut Creek, Florida, as a way for their students to express their feelings about what’s going on in the world and in their lives. The project was quickly embraced by their students and the entire school community and by millions of art teachers, parents, children and adults who desire peace in our world.

On Monday, September 28, Laredo students celebrated the importance of peace in their lives, school, community, and world by making pinwheels in art class and singing a peace song in music. Watching our pinwheels spin in the wind while we sang was a really cool experience!
Laredo is pleased to announce that we are one of four Aurora elementary schools participating in a partnership with Colorado University Medical Center and Children's Hospital. Being a part of this will expose our students to careers in the health sciences.
Laredo is very excited to have a new partnership with the University of Colorado this year. We have become a lab site for student teachers to learn and gain experiences as they become teachers. We have 6 teacher candidates who are here on Wednesday and Thursday each week until the last quarter when they will do their student teaching. We are excited about the impact it will have on student achievement.
