School garden honoring stabbing victim dedicated

MILFORD, Conn. (AP) Friends and school officials have dedicated a garden to the memory of a Milford high school student who was fatally stabbed.

The garden of purple flowers, wooden benches and a heart sculpture was dedicated Wednesday at Jonathan Law High School in honor of Maren Sanchez. The 16-year-old student was killed at the school in April.

Another student, 17-year-old Christopher Plaskon, has pleaded not guilty to murder.

The New Haven Register reports that principal Fran Thompson told students, staff and family at the dedication that Maren remains very much a part of the daily lives of students and school staff.

The garden is at the top of a hill that overlooks the softball field. Sanchez was manager of the girls' softball and swim teams.
