Galloway School Plants Hundreds of Daffodils

The Galloway School in Atlanta recently joined the global initiative The Daffodil Project by planting a garden of 300-plus yellow daffodils. The Daffodil Project is dedicated to commemorating the 1.5 million children who perished in the Holocaust, and in support of children who continue to suffer in humanitarian crises around the world today.

“The daffodils remind us that even after the darkest winters, life and hope can bloom again,” said Galloway’s Head of School Amir Farokhi. “This is a tangible lesson in both history and humanity that our students will carry forward.”

Through the simple, hands-on act of planting daffodils on Oct. 23, Galloway’s students, faculty, parents, and volunteers took place in this age-appropriate, meaningful way to learn about the importance of compassion, remembrance, and standing against hatred.

“We are so proud that Galloway agreed to support this important initiative, acknowledging the past,” said Susie Sommer, Daffodil Project ambassador. “The Daffodil Project helps us to face the importance of the obligation we each have to uphold justice, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the human spirit.”

Galloway is located at: 215 Chastain Park Ave NW, Atlanta. For information about The Daffodil Project, please visit www.daffodilproject.net.
