The Fridge Front Gallery has installed its first exhibit of the new school year. The exhibit from Roberta Bondar Public School features artwork by Grade 7 and 8 students.

The exhibit was organized by Shabbana Bhutta, a teacher at the school, who was a member of Visual Arts Brampton in 2004, and exhibited in the inaugural Snail Mail Show.

A new school, Roberta Bondar is the first school in the Peel Board of Education to adopt a "balanced year". The balanced year schedule means that school continues year-round, with frequent, shorter breaks. This is in the hopes that students retain what they learn, instead of forgeting everything over the summer.
