What better way to celebrate our September Catholic Virtue of Courage than to celebrate Terry Fox and support his foundation for cancer research!
Prince of Peace will be marking this special event and this remarkable hero with a Run/Walk on Thursday, September 28th, 2022. Friday, September 29th will be the rain date.
Our students will complete the run/walk around the school yard in their cohorts at various points through the day. More than 40 years ago, Terry Fox started this movement that continues to grow strong in the hearts of Canadians each year. This year is no exception. The goal of the Walk/Run is to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Same as last year, we are asking that if you wish to donate to please do so on-line only. If we manage to reach our school goal of $1000.00 each class will earn a Movie period! You can click the link to access the Prince of Peace donation site or visit the Terry Fox Canada website and follow the links to our school.
Walk Details:
Kindergarten: 1 lap around schoolyard/field
Grade 1: 2 laps around schoolyard/field
Grade 2-3: 3 laps around the schoolyard/field
Grade 4-6: 5 laps around the schoolyard/field
Terry’s passion led him to run the most memorable marathon in history and we continue to be inspired by his extraordinary determination to help others. Thank you for your support and cooperation and for continuing to work hard so that Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer will become a reality.
