Gandhi, King, Ikeda: A Peace Exhibit at Culver High

At Culver City High School, students from the Conflict Resolution class and the Student Intercultural Advisory Committee have worked hard together to raise awareness of peace and nonviolence by bringing an exciting exhibit to the school.

Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Daisaku Ikeda have followed a common path of dedication to improving the lives of all people, building a world of peace.

Beginning on Monday morning at 7, Culver High students will honor their joint legacy of peace and nonviolence with a exhibit that will be open every day throughout the week in the School Library.

How to Be Safe and to Stay Safe on Halloween

At Halloween weekend, and with the approach of Halloween itself on Tuesday night, the School District hopes you have a safe, happy holiday. Here are important safety tips to remember as you get ready to trick-or-treat.

Before Halloween
  • Plan costumes that are bright and reflective. Make sure shoes fit well and costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame.
  • Consider adding reflective tape or striping to costumes and trick-or-treat bags for greater visibility.
  • Secure emergency identification (name, address, telephone number) discreetly within Halloween attire or on a bracelet.
  • Because a mask can limit or block eyesight, consider non-toxic and hypoallergenic makeup or a decorative hat as a safe alternative.
  • When shopping for costumes, wigs and accessories, purchase only those with a label indicating they are flame resistant.
  • Think twice before using simulated knives, guns or swords. If such props must be used, be certain they do not appear authentic and are soft and flexible to prevent injury.
  • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts.
  • Plan ahead to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical lightsticks in place of candles in decorations and costumes.
  • This is also a great time to buy fresh batteries for your home smoke alarms.
