To close the 2012/2013 school year every Bauerwood student created a pinwheel to celebrate the International Day of Peace, which is September 21. The pinwheel is the symbol for the International Day of Peace because it is meant to remind people of their childhood, when things are suppose to be carefree and simple.

Each students wrote and/or illustrated what peace meant to them individually. There were a wide variety of designs; To some it meant getting along with their siblings, participating in something they love, enjoying a peaceful moment, living in a peaceful community, or world peace. The students' pinwheels were placed back to back with a classmate's to promote collaboration, teamwork, and community. The students really enjoyed creating these colorful and meaningful pinwheels.
