Toonies For Terry

(Room 2 and 3 practicing outside for the Terry Fox Run.  The students wrote inspirational messages in chalk on the compound to help encourage their community to participate in the run.)

On Thursday, September 27, 2018, Captain John Palliser students, staff and families will join thousands of schools across Canada by participating in the Terry Fox Run.  Our class runs at 9:30-10:05 am.  

To support Terry Fox’s dream and to raise money for cancer research, students are encouraged to donate a Toonie for Terry.  Cash donations can be brought into the school any day up to Tuesday October 2nd or you can choose to use our school’s online donation site http://www.terryfox.ca/CaptainJohnPalliserPlease click the “Sponsor Us” Link on this site.  

We have two special fundraising challenges underway.   The first is called Fashion for Fox.  Any student who brings in a $10 donation will be able to bring an article of clothing (the crazier the better!) for their teacher to wear during the Terry Fox run.  (Mrs. Halsall will bring in some crazy items too.)   In addition, for every $500 our school raises one teacher will get a pie in the face at a later assembly.  

Parents are welcome to join us for our Terry Fox Run on Thursday, September 27 either as a runner/walker or to help place stamps on students hands to record the laps they complete.
