Rock Garden Dedication Ceremony
Honoring Lucas Harashima
Rescheduled for Thursday, June 14th at 4:00 PM
Due to rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for this afternoon and evening, we will reschedule our PRES Rock Garden Dedication Ceremony to Thursday, June 14th at 4:00 pm. Please join us on the PRES playground on Thursday afternoon. All students, staff and families are invited to wear gray and yellow on Thursday, June 14th, in honor of Lucas Harashima.
PRES Rock Garden
Inspired by a project created by an elementary school in Indiana, we plan to create a memorial rock garden in memory of Lucas Harashima. This week, the students of PRES will hear the book, Only One You, written by Linda Kranz, read aloud. Only One You tells the story about a small fish, Adri, who travels through the sea of life, gaining insight and wisdom from his parents along the way. They send him the message, “There’s only one you in this great big world. Make it a better place.”
Each PRES student and staff member will be invited to leave his/her “mark” on the school by painting a unique rock to add to the garden. This rock garden will continue to serve as a memorial garden for anyone who has lost a loved one. You can add a rock to the garden to honor someone special in your life. It will hold the memories of our loved ones, the uniqueness of each individual, and the “mark” that each one has left on our hearts and on the world.
On Thursday, June 14, 2018 at 4:00 PM, on the PRES playground, we will hold a dedication ceremony as we dedicate the PRES Rock Garden to our PRES student, Lucas Harashima. During the event, rocks will be available for painting, and a lemonade stand will help remind us that when life throws you lemons, you must make lemonade. All are welcome to attend.
