SIS was visited by a Peace Choir from Columbia on September 9. Los hijos y las hijas de la paz performed in front of 9th Grade arts students. The choir comprised 10 girls (ages 6 to 10), and was formed after the peace negotiation ended in Colombia. The members are children of ex-military and ex-guerilla parents who were on opposite sides of the conflict. They came together to bring peace and unity. 

Director, Marisa León greeted them enthusiastically saying “This has been a great opportunity for our students to learn what can come out of conflict and for these girls to learn about being with other young people from multiple nationalities.”
