Annual Terry Fox Run a Big Success

10/11/2017

The annual Terry Fox Run was a fabulous success this year. The weather was great, the costumes were elaborate and the enthusiasm was palpable. This was the first major house event of the year, and our house captains had clearly been looking forward to it: they began the day on October 6 collecting donations in the lobby, starting the day off with an energy level that stayed high until the race. Click here to see a video of our pre-run house rally.

The race itself was staggered by grade level, allowing the older grade captains to finish their runs before greeting the younger runners at the finish line. It was a heartwarming sight to see how encouraging our older students are - cheering on runners regardless of house or speed, encouraging all students to strive for their best.

Donations for the Terry Fox Foundation are still being collected, and the total house points earned will be announced at assembly on Monday, October 16. Congratulations to the house captains for infusing this year’s run with such great spirit.
