The "Pinwheels for Peace Project" was started in 2005 by two Art Teachers, Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillian, who teach at Coconut Creek High School. It was a way for students to express their feelings about war, peace, tolerance, cooperation, harmony and unity as a way to take a stance against violence in the world. it is in coordination with International Peace Day, September 21.
