Terry Fox Run 2010

The annual Terry Fox Run will take place on Friday September 17, 2010, providing an

opportunity for our school community to contribute to the ongoing campaign against cancer

while at the same time celebrating the courage of a true Canadian hero. The Terry Fox

Foundation has implemented an on line pledge system that greatly improves the efficiency of 

collecting and counting donations.

Please visit https://www.terryfox.org/SchoolRun/school2.html  to make a pledge on line.

Students will still have pledge sheets to record the names of donors and donation amounts in

order to track the school total. Those wishing to make a cash donation are asked to complete the

required details on the pledge form. Students must submit all pledge forms and money to

their homeroom teachers on the day of the run, September 17th.

While this event is not a race, we are setting up checkpoints representing the 10 provinces

and 3 territories; students will be encouraged to traverse as much of our symbolic Canada aspossible to commemorate Terry’s dream of running across the country to raise money for cancer

research.

Following is an overview of how the Terry Fox Run will look:

Grades 4, 5, and 6

9:00 Grades 4, 5, and 6 students will attend a brief assembly in the gym to launch the event;

9:30 Students will walk with their teachers to the west end of North Glenmore Park.

9:45 At the sound of the starting horn, students will run or walk on the paved pathway eastalong North Glenmore Park for 20 minutes or until they have passed the checkpoints and

arrive at the canoe docks, whichever comes first. Staff and parent volunteers will also be

on the course to ensure students don’t circumnavigate the Glenmore Reservoir.

10:30 Students will return to the school and resume morning classes.
