Students at Bristol Township’s Neil Armstrong Middle School made more than 1,000 pinwheels to help youth in war torn Syria.

The students made 1,225 colorful pinwheels as part of a โ€œHealing Classroom Challenge,โ€ a Bezos Family Foundation program. For each pinwheel, the Bezos Family Foundation will donate money to the Healing Classroom Challenge.

From the school district:

“Healing Classroom” encourages young people to learn, connect and take action on critical global issues. After researching the topic, students are asked to create symbolic objectsโ€”such as pinwheels– that the foundation matches with funding for a good cause.
