May 23 was a wonderful day for our community as we dedicated a Peace Pole! Working with the Prior Lake-Savage Area School District, we identified the 6 languages most spoken in our schools. We added the Lakota language and American Sign Language to make a 4-sided pole with room for 8 languages all saying, “May Peace Prevail on Earth.” We were able to show off the park as we dedicated the Peace Pole. We have a Little Free Library in the park; we added books on diversity and peace for the event. We invited individuals to represent each of the 8 languages and “speak” them as we dedicate the pole. Prior Lake Mayor Kirt Briggs was on hand for the dedication, along with Rotary District 5960 Governor Ed Marek, and District Governor Elect Kenny Klooster.
