On June 3, the Interact Club at Amityville Memorial High School unveiled their Peace Pole at the school’s front lawn.

District administrators and the Amityville Rotary Club joined students in the dedication ceremony. A Peace Pole is an internationally-recognized symbol of the hopes and dreams of the entire human family, standing vigil in silent prayer for peace on earth. The high school’s Peace Pole bears the message, “May Peace Prevail on Earth,” in eight different languages on each of its four sides to recognize the diversity in the school community. There are more than 250,000 Peace Poles in the world dedicated as monuments to peace.

The Interact Club raised funds for the Peace Pole during the holiday season. The pole now serves as a place for the school community to come together as one and recognize that Amityville stands for peace.
