Creating space to explore peace

The Rotary Club of Two Rivers dedicated a Peace Pole on the Two Rivers High School campus Nov. 17.

Members wanted to create a quiet space for students to reflect on global, local and personal issues; remember those who’ve suffered and died; and celebrate, give meaning to, and initiate conversations about peace.

The Peace Pole Project is a global movement to spread a message: May Peace Prevail on Earth. The Two Rivers pole bears this message in English, Czech, Spanish, Hmong, and braille.

There are an estimated 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world dedicated as monuments to peace.
