90 children from year 5 were involved in designing the totem poles.\u00a0 In June and July 2022, four and five year olds put their handprints on the tables and then other classes put words for peace inside the prints.\u00a0 The children love to be in the Peace Garden.\u00a0 The children and teachers say that there is a calming energy there.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">There has been a
