Councilwoman Jane Bonner attended the dedication of a Peace Pole at Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School in Rocky Point on November 18. The Peace Pole, a handcrafted monument with the message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" inscribed in multiple languages, symbolizes peace and hope for humanity.
The event included community members, academic leaders from Joseph A. Edgar Intermediate School, school district officials, students, and the Peace Pole committee. These poles originated in Japan after World War II and are now located in various prominent places such as the United Nations, the Pentagon, and the Peace Palace in The Hague.
Peace Poles serve as reminders to promote peace and harmony within communities.
