SAFETY FIRST…not Convenience
Do not let your child out or let them in in the middle of the road or in the middle of the Hug & Go before pulling over to a sidewalk curb. It is not safe. Today, we almost had a child crushed between two cars due to them getting out and running between cars. Safety MUST come before convenience.
At the end of the day, DO NOT get out of your car in the Hug & Go. This is NOT a parking lot.
Additionally, do NOT use the staff parking lot for drop off or pick up. Parents should not be pulling into the staff parking lot ever.
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/.
This year the Northern Lights School community is challenged to meet the goal set by our students of raising $1500.00 and running or walking 1500 km!
On Thursday, September 18, 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 19.
Let’s help Northern Lights School keep Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer alive.
Thank you!
