This Year’s Walk for Peace Theme: Peaceful Streets, Safe Summer

As part of this year’s celebration, students in Grades 1–12 were invited to submit original artwork reflecting this theme and highlighting safety, community, and unity in Humboldt Park. We’ll receive the final artwork on Friday morning and share it with everyone for the big reveal. The selected student artist will be recognized during the event—a wonderful way to celebrate and involve the young voices in our community. This is more than an event—it’s a celebration of community, unity, and peace, and a powerful reminder of why we do this work. Hope to see you there!
