Terry Fox Run

On Tuesday, October 3^rd, 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 10:30am.  Students attending afternoon Kindergarten are welcome to attend, if they are accompanied by a supervising adult.

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 26 - October 3^rd. 

All parents/guardians who are interested in joining their child/children 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.

Ms Rutland - We had a very busy week!  In math, we are working on adding and subtracting our basic facts (0-18) and thinking about what strategies we are using for these.  If you'd like a copy of a game that you could work on at home with your child, please send me an email and I'd be happy to send a copy home!  We also spent some time this week with Mrs. Libbey's class doing a couple challenges to discuss group work.
