It would appear that the kids are not over it. Students from PCVS took to the streets over the noon hour today to show their displeasure in the announced closing of their high school. The event was mounted as a "ghost walk" and was meant to point out to everyone that if you take more than 900 kids and teachers out of the downtown, it does have an effect. While the decision to close PCVS is in the Ministry of Education's hands (pending an Administrative Review), that didn't stop the hundreds of kids who have taken it upon themselves again to show the community that the decision of the School Board trustees is still on their minds.

This YouTube video from a Peterborough man is apparently a response to a Rap Battle that took place at Pappas Billiards on the weekend. But its articulate, positive and inspiring message extends well beyond Hip Hop and speaks to a lot of stuff going on in this community—including safety, the environment, jobs, poverty, food issues, social justice, love and youth culture.

This video aired on the old Maclean Hunter Cable Television in Peterborough in the late eighties. The script and creative were done by Mrs. Crowley's Grade 5/6 class at King George Public School. Everything feels so retro—the styles, the music, the police cars.
