It's probably there because there's no safe place to display it. In this case "safe" doesn't mean "safe from theft" but "won't fall on someone - even in the presence of a rambunctious child".
If the concern is remembrance, I'd say take a photo and post that on the bulletin board.
As far as the statue itself, the best plan of action might be to put it back into storage until it too old for anyone to care about and can be disposed of discreetly. Maybe give it to whoever headed that project.
