Terry Fox Article

The link above is to an article about Terry Fox that the students wanted to access at home.  Enjoy!

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.

Parent Pay for Scholastic Orders Online

Using Parent Pay is as Easy as1-2-3! When your child brings home their Reading Club order forms, review them together and pick what you want to order just as you usually do. Then, when you’re ready to pay, go online to: parentpay.scholastic.ca
1. Fill out the form to select your child’s teacher and provide your payment details, including the Parent Pay code found on your order form(s).
2. Provide your billing and credit card information and submit your payment. You can submit a single payment for ALL flyers that have the same Parent Pay code.
3. Record your payment Reference Number on your child’s order form(s) and send them in to school so that your child’s teacher can place your order.

The online Parent Pay site is for making payments only. Your order is not complete until you send in the order form(s) to your child’s teacher and they submit the order to Scholastic. Your order will be delivered to the classroom just like usual.
