Summit Charter Academy builds a garden of rocks and peace
What does peace look like? It looks like a flower, and a ladybug, and a heart.
And it also looks like a Ninja Turtle, the University of Tennessee logo, and a Pokemon.
Summit Charter Academy, located at Hatch and Central near Modesto, celebrated International Day of Peace on Friday by starting a rock garden. Each of the 420-plus students — and most teachers — contributed a rock painted to resemble what peace meant to them.
For fifth-grader Zack Shivar, that meant a pearl. “They share the same first three letters,” he said, of “peace” and “pearl”. “And it’s my birthstone.”
