Finishing Plexiglass Half Wall How should I secure stops against clear acrylic sheet in a half wall?

I just built a half wall (sort of) with plexiglassacrylic sheet in my basement to partition my server equipment from my woodworking area to keep my electronics more sawdust free. The top half of the wall is a piece of plexiglassacrylic that sits in a groove in the top and right studs. I have some leftover pine board that I want to use to frame around the inside edges of the plexiglassacrylic. 

How would I go about securing the pine board to each other on either side of the plexiglassacrylic? I want to do this so it takes the bow out of the plexiglassacrylic. I was thinking a screw with a wingnut on the opposite side of the plexiglassacrylic. Also, any other ideas for finishing this wall?
