GNS: 2023 Terry Fox Run
Posted on:
In September, students and staff across the Division honoured the legacy of Canadian Terry Fox.
Students learned about the teenager who challenged himself to run across Canada to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. The Terry Fox Run is an annual noncompetitive charity event held around the world to raise money for cancer research in commemoration of Terry, and his Marathon of Hope that started 43 years ago.
In Grande Cache, Summitview students and staff raised $625 and were cheered on by a special guest - the Summitview Eagle!
Students at Evansview Elementary School in Evansburg were challenged to raise $1,500 or more with the chance to throw a pie at their principal! Look out Mr. Randall; your students raised over $1,800!
