Lets Talk Science

Congratulations to Jelani Grant, a current ACHA student, who entered a short story into a Science Fiction, story writing contest. The contest was sponsored by Visions of Science and Jelani won 1st prize in the children's division.
Jelani is a grade 8 student of the Dr Robert Thornton Public School with an active imagination. His story Imagine is a time travel story that takes us to important moments in black history. Vivid, exciting and humourous, Imagine was a favorite right away with the judges. Way to go Jelani. Keep up the fantastic work.
