I am running for Terry Fox!

Today was our annual Terry Fox run here at Ballantrae. Before the run, we watched a short video of Terry Fox running his Marathon of Hope and looked at a book about Terry Fox. Students had a lot of questions, including: Did this really happen? Is this a true story? Why did they take his leg off? How did he die? How far did he make it?

Following lunch recess, students met with up with their Reading Buddies for the big run. Each student wore a sticker, "I am running for _________", on which they wrote the name of someone who they were running for today. (e.g. Terry Fox, my auntie, my uncle, (Great) Grandpa, (Great) Grandma, or the name of a friend)

Thank you to everyone who donated a "Twoonie for Terry".
