House Spirit Spurring On Terry Fox’s Legacy

The morning of this year’s Terry Fox Run saw a few scattered showers across midtown. Luckily by the first run, the skies had cleared. Rain or shine, Greenwood students and staff brought their motivation and House spirit. This annual tradition raises funds for the Terry Fox Foundation in support of cancer research and to carry on Terry Fox’s legacy.

The Terry Fox Run also serves as one of the first major House events in the school year. House points are up for grabs through raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation, racing on the day of the Run and for showing off their House spirit through creative costumes. As part of the in-person donation drive, House Captains collected change every morning from students arriving at school in the Toonies for Terry campaign. Families also had the opportunity to donate via the online portal. In total, this year Greenwood’s donation drive for the Terry Fox Foundation raised $11,592.45.

Here’s how all of the Houses ranked following the Terry Fox Run.
