We are including many activities ranging from a Haunted House to bobbing for apples. On Friday, Oct. 7, Mrs. Perrie's and Mr. Wanless's Grades 7/8s went to Clinton for the new Tech 21 program. The favourite activity was the kitchen classes. The two kitchen groups made pizza, one from scratch and one from a box. The pizza dough was left to rise, then they put toppings on and cooked it. The point of this activity was to see if the pizza from scratch was better then the pizza from the box. The kitchen groups said that the pizza from scratch was the best.

"The HBCE invited all the schools in the county to attend. Principal Al Harrison was very interested in the conference and has been involved in the Peacemakers program and the board's zero toler­ ance policy," says Mrs. Cronin. "Through his discussions with the board, they agreed to pay half the cost of the conference and our student council will cover the rest." "I chose four Peacemakers and we have been working since the beginning of the school year to develop the workshop," she says. Through interviews with Super­ intendent Chuck Rowland and help from the staff at the Learning Resources Centre, the students have developed a video tape detail­ ing the board's and schools' work towards conflict resolution.
