Terry Fox Run

On Friday, our school held a Terry Fox run fundraiser for cancer research.  

 In the afternoon, all the Kindergartners had fun running  around our school's grass field. But, before we ran, we spent a morning with our new grade 5/6 big buddies and learned about Terry Fox.  So, now you know why stories about foxes with no leg may have came home! 

The Terry Fox run is a powerful way for the school to emphasize lessons of corage, hope, 

and dedication.  As the Kindies were running around, some of them "resting" along the way were reminded about how Terry Fox pushed through his pain, his sickness, his negative thoughts and just kept going.  Great lessons for the beginning of the year!

 Thank you to those parents who came out and helped and who donated money to this important cause.
