The end of our first month!
Today we did the Terry Fox Run and we used tally marks to add our number of laps. Our class ran 97.5 laps and we raised $127!! Thank you so much to all the students who brought in money - and thanks to the awesome volunteers on the run! This year we ran a new route around William D. Pratt and Royal Oak fields. It was hard and tiring to run. Terry Fox ran about 42 Km every day and in 143 days he ran 5373 Km total! We realize how hard Terry must have worked every day. We wrote about Terry Fox and what he was trying to do.

Terry Fox Day
On Friday, September 30th, Royal Oak School and William D. Pratt School will be participating in the Terry Fox Run. Students will gather on the field between the two schools to take part in the annual 30-minute run, which is scheduled to begin at 10:00am. On this day please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for the weather (including running shoes). If the weather is poor, students will walk inside the school during their PE class time.
We are asking that each child donate a “Toonie for Terry” for the Terry Fox Foundation during the week of September 27-30th. All parents/guardians who are interested in joining their child in this event are more than welcome.
We do require a fair number of volunteers for this event to ensure its success. If you have security clearance and if you are able to volunteer during the run time, kindly contact our school Volunteer Coordinator at rosvolunteers@gmail.com.
Thank you for your continued support.
