PEACE Program is a One Stop Shop For Christmas Gifts!

One Stop Shop

St. Albert Adult Education Centre had a special visitor last week. Graduate from St. Charles College, Joey Gagnon dropped by the school to check off his Christmas shopping list.  The PEACE Program was his one stop shop for unique and one of a kind custom made gifts.

We can’t say what Joey bought but we can say, he’s going to make a lot of people happy including the students who need to replenish their inventory.

About the PEACE Program:

PEACE (Personalized Experiential Alternative Caring Education) program is an alternative school for teens who have anxiety, depression and personal issues that interfere with their schooling. It is a second chance for many students, where students can have teacher support, learn techniques to overcome obstacles, and learn new skills through Peace Pens: a student-run, self sustaining business. These high-school aged students earn credits creatively, and partake in engaging alternative activities including fitness, outdoor education, and art workshops. All pens and other products in the PEACE shop are custom made and created from start to finish by students in the program. Each item has its own unique style reflective of the creator. Any item purchased will come with an insert containing a description of the program, the type of wood or acrylic used, and the name of the student who created the item.
