In a touching tribute, River Forest High’s Class of 2026 turned grief into legacy by creating a memorial garden and bench for two classmates lost too soon—Rodrigo Montes and Jose Torres. Despite never having known each other well, their peers rallied to honor them with a beautiful, lasting space in the school courtyard, raising funds and designing it themselves. The project, born from deep compassion, has moved families and faculty alike, showcasing the power of student-led compassion and the unbreakable bonds forged in high school. As the seniors prepare to graduate, this garden stands as a quiet, enduring reminder of their friends’ lives—and the strength of a community that refuses to let them be forgotten.
