Belle Isle State Park Visit

The Rosa Parks Youth Peace Garden Participants just took an amazing trip to the Belle Isle State Park to visit their Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory and Belle Isle Aquarium. Our youth were amazed at how many exotics plants were in the conservatory.  We also had an amazing lunch prepared by our Conner kitchen staff and then enjoyed a huge game of freeze tag.
