High Park School, Stony Plain, Alberta
(Marianne Rogers)

High Park School is involved with Peace Jam and the thousands acts of goodwill. Marianne Rogers has worked with staff and students to build student awareness of global citizenship. Enrolling them into the Peace Jam program has joined them with many other schools in North America. It is a group that links Nobel peace laureates working with youth to create positive change! They have chosen to make positive changes around the climate change issue. They are learning about the issues, connecting with people in the know and each other to move forward.

You will be able to find a video clip of the students and the school at this link.
