This year’s light-show message: This year the grade nine class of Exploring Technologies at St. Stephen’s Secondary were introduced to properties of metal by designing, scaling to proper dimensions, and then bending steel re-bar to form the letters that would deliver a message. After the message was welded solidly onto a steel frame the difficult task of strapping down hundreds of led lights to form our message took place. Finally with the voluntary help of Hydro One, our new message was launched for all who pass at night to see and ponder.
The Exploring Technologies light art this year was inspired by a new Principal at St. Stephen’s Secondary Mark Joly who chose the message “Peace On Earth”.
We turned on our lights on this November 11th, 2010 to honour our brave men and women who serve in our armed forces.
During this holy season, through prayer and action, may we all adopt a renewed commitment to the Gospel of Peace. |
