Rotarians gather around the newly planted peace pole unveiled at Sedalia Elementary as part of Rotary's goal of building a culture of peace throughout the world. Peace Poles are intended to inspire unity among people of all cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds. A Peace Pole is a monument that displays the message “May Peace Prevail On Earth” in different languages. It is an international message of peace with over 250,000 Peace Poles in every country in the world, dedicated as monuments to peace.
