The Peace Team is comprised of Grade 6 students and their mandate is to promote good virtues within the student body of the school, like honesty, integrity and responsibility. Among those students enjoying the ice cream were (from left) Matthew Virtue, Kaitlyn Loginov, Sydney Norhein and Hayley Aquilina, all 11.

The SmartRisk message, delivered recently at Christ the KIng School, is aimed at youths to make them think before taking part in any risky event.

Since then, the garden has also evolved to include memorials to staff and students. Technological Design teacher Norbert Axtmann, who spearhead- ed and designed the garden concept more than eight years ago, recently applied for a School Greening Grant from the Halton Learning Foundation. The foundation awarded Acton a $1,000 grant to allow the garden to continue to evolve. Part of the garden includes a dry river bed with a footbridge over it that is used as an area for students to sit and enjoy the garden, or reflect over the friends they have paid tribute to with their memorial plantings. The bridge was started, but the lack of funds held its full completion back. Last fall it was heavily vandalized and was almost a complete write-off. Armed with the grant money, members of Paul Nicholsons Grade 12 construction class came to the rescue, using the funds to repair and level the bridge base, then adding a new railing with built-in seating. The new bridge has been a big hit with the students, and is in constant use throughout the day. The garden was initiated as a community event, taking into account not only the school, but also members of the town who par- ticipated heavily in its early begin- nings. The community is once again encouraged to participate in the gardens growth by contributing to it if they have perennial plants they have surplus or are dividing. Students, grant money revitalizes AHS garden Thanks to a $1,000 Halton Learning Foundation grant and the hard work of Acton High School students like, from left, Dylan Creasey, Sean Terry, Kevin Vickery and Cameron Shortt, as well as teachers Paul Nicholson and Norbert Axtmann, the schools Millenium Garden has been restored to its former glory after being vandalized last year.
