Peace a symbol of diversity at Little Tor Elementary School

May
22

Little Tor Elementary School in New City recently dedicated its peace pole, a hand-crafted monument that reads, “May peace prevail on Earth” in several languages. School officials said the languages that made up the peace pole represented the school’s diverse population. They are: Chinese, English, Gaelic, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Serbo-Croation and Spanish.

Today, 5-year-old student Anthony Barbato said he liked the pole and that to him, peace meant, “Loving people.”
