World Religions Display at Middleton High School

World Religions Display at Middleton High School was installed on November 5, 2007 and will be the LMC display through the month. Elements of this display will then be on exhibit at the Middleton Public Library for December.

The display was installed by Middleton community volunteers under the supervision of MHS librarian, Ellen Baum. Symbols from Baha'i, Christianity, Hindu, Islam, Sikh and other faiths were brought in by area residents for the display. There is a sign for MHS students allowing them to contribute if their faith traditions are missing.

Of course, the focus is the wide selection of books and other media on world religions at the Middleton High School LMC.

Another feature is the Middleton Mayoral Proclamation of the Annual Interfaith Awareness Week (upper right) December 9-15, 2007.
