School and Group Lesson Plans and Resources
Lesson plans and resources developed in partnership with LRSD and Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS). We invite all Arkansas schools and youth groups to participate and present these lessons teaching peacemaking skills to the youth in our state.
Please share this with children and organizations you know. Schools, teachers, faith groups and other youth organizations are encouraged to sponsor and guide students with their submissions.
We began these programs in 2017 when Pax Christi Little Rock (PCLR) worked with school counselor Mildred Calhoun to develop a peace curriculum for Little Rock’s Rockefeller Elementary. The following year we worked with Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) and Little Rock School District to expand these non-violence lesson plans and resources for elementary age students. In 2021 over 15,000 students participated from Little Rock School District, Pulaski County Special School District, and many private schools.
Today schools and students from all over the state participated in Peace Week. In our first year of the Peace Week Art Contest and Peace Week Essay Contest we had over 500 entries from all over the state: from Bella Vista to McGehee and Blytheville to Eldorado.
In 2022 we seek to continue offering the programs all over the state.

Special Thank you to the Legacii Educational Development Foundation for your donations to our Cosmetology Program in the Life Skills Program!!
The Choices Learning Center partnered with the Blytheville School of Cosmetology as a new component to their Life Skills Program. This partnership will also allow students who are interested in this field or career path an opportunity to earn professional hours toward their internship or licensure process.
This course is taught and facilitated by a licensed instructor, Ms. Michelle Brown. Our students will gain an opportunity to learn and practice lifelong skills in time management, problem-solving, communication and cosmetologist skills. We would like to thank the Blytheville School of Cosmetology for this opportunity.
Also, thanks to the Legacii Educational Development Foundation for donating items to our Cosmetology Program!
