 Editorial

Greetings to every one ! Welcome to yet another elementary issue of PELINKS4U! As I prepare this article, CNN sprouts updates regarding the War in Iraq and I feel so powerless as I watch and hear the updates ! I feel strongly about the need to educate for PEACE, so that future generations might perhaps see a more peaceful world. The word PEACE takes me back to the theme developed for my field day last year - it evolved from just the word "peace" into an acronym for "Physical Education Among Children Everywhere" ! With field days coming up, perhaps we educators might be able to contribute towards a peaceful world through the field day themes we design as this school year comes to an end. This issue highlights Field Days themes and launches some summer ideas !

Do continue to share with us your ideas and suggestions ! Collaborating together, we CAN make a difference.

Peace to all
