Terry Fox Event at Northern Lights School  

Each September, students at Northern Lights School will join thousands of schools worldwide in the annual Terry Fox Event.  In preparation for the event, students reflect on topics such as Terry Fox’s legacy, meeting challenges, empathy, and setting personal goals.  You may wish to support your child’s learning about Terry Fox through discussion at home.  Further information can be found at https://terryfox.org/. 

On Thursday, September 17, students will run around a designated course on the field beside the school.  In case of inclement weather, the run will take place indoors during regularly scheduled Phys. Ed. classes. 

Students and families are invited to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation in the following ways: by contributing cash or cheques, made payable to The Terry Fox Foundation, to classroom collection boxes; or online. Online donations may be made at: https://schools.terryfox.ca/98133. Tax receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation for donations over $20.00.  All monies raised through our event will be forwarded to the Foundation to further the cause of cancer research.  The deadline for donation is Friday, September 18. 

Let’s help Northern Lights School keep Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer alive.         

Thank you!
