Thanks to the creative minds and hard work of Theology Teachers Christine Nienhaus and Abby Vogt, as well as Polly Partain, Librarian, and former MHS teacher Josh Reiss, the beautiful spot took shape. Students also helped dig and plant, as well as lay paver stones decorated by students during last year's retreats.
Planters are laid out in the shape of a cross, and many species of vegetation are thriving there. The benches were constructed as part of last year's retreats as well, and picnic tables allow for lunch time serenity.
Truly a place for a spiritual retreat and a chance to "go green," the Peace Garden lives up to its name. See slide show at right for more photos of Ms. Vogt's Theology class taking full advantage of the space.
