Ward 3 Councillor Dave Gittings gave the students some homework for the week, something that would help them Own Up to the challenge. "I have some really important homework and it's not that tough," he said. "When you get home, I'd like you to speak to your parents and if you see grandma and grandpa on the weekend, I'd like you to speak with them, and talk to them a little bit about what we did today." Gittings stood in for Oakville Mayor Rob Burton and read the mayor's proclamation of June 2-8 being Healthy Me Week in Oakville. He also told the students that today's youths are tomorrow's future.
