"Peace is what every human being is craving for, and it can be brought about by humanity through the child." - Maria Montessori
As parents of current and former students, we are so immensely grateful for the peaceful, caring influence they have had on our children and are moved to honor this rare and wonderful family. The original idea of a large, public celebration event was, fortunately, humbly turned down by Steve. They are gentle souls after all; this is part of what we love about them.
So, at the conclusion of 38 beautiful years of educating generations of local children, we are now commissioning a stone artist to create an enduring piece for public art installation. This is intended to be a community-wide retirement gift and testament to the beauty of what they have created. We are working with recommended stone and metal artists to create a piece (about 36"- 40") with children holding up a stone globe - to be installed at the Bellingham Pubic Library back lawn (Kathie is a long-time volunteer) or in Fairhaven Park (next door to Steve's other baby, The Chuckanut Center) as a back-up. We hope to have installation complete by the start of school in the fall. Approval has already been granted by the Bellingham Arts Commission, and siting was confirmed this morning through the Parks Board!
We would very much appreciate your help in forwarding this link to any other former Childlife Families, friends or fans of Kathie, Steve and/or Hannah Wilson you may know of!
(Just remember, Kathie is on Facebook - and we hope to keep this a surprise until all is ready - so kindly start with old-fashioned email for now)
*Add a comment or memory below! We'll be printing them out and giving them to the Wilson family as a keepsake when the sculpture is complete.
