About Our Logo

Our logo has two feathers that represent the mother and father who I give thanks and praise to, everyday through prayer. The feathers joined at the bottom represent the strength of our mother and father to carry the weight of the world in hopes that we will do what is right and just. The round circle in the logo represents the Earth. The recycle icon in the center of the Earth represents the thought that we should not acquire knowledge and skills only to be kept by our own being, but to share what we have learned with others.
