Terry Fox Run

Following a school assembly about raising awareness for Terry Fox, we have been collecting money in spirit of Terry Fox. Churchill students have decorated a shoe to collect the money in, representing Terry's shoe. Our goal at Churchill was to raise a toonie for each student to try and map out our donations to represent his journey across Canada. A prosthetic leg was passed around to each classroom for the children to observe and explore. As each child took a turn they were noticing the weight and size of the prosthetic. Children were amazing at how Terry Fox could run with this as his leg.

 

 

Today all of the kindergarten classes participated in a Terry Fox run to support his marathon of hope. We all gathered outside for a warm up cheer and stretch before the run. A chart was designed to help the kindergartens understand why we are running for Terry Fox. A chart was designed representing the 143 days Terry ran across Canada. Each child ran as much as they could and worked as a team to mark off each lap of the school yard! Together we surpassed our goal!
