Terry Fox Run!

On Friday, September 26, Janet Johnstone School will proudly take part in our annual Terry Fox Run. Students and staff from Kindergarten to Grade 4 will walk or run a course around the school grounds in honour of Terry Fox and help raise money for cancer research. 

Families are welcome to join us for this meaningful event!

• The Kick-Off Assembly will begin at 8:05 AM in the school gym.
• Students will participate in a 20-minute walk/run around the designated route.
• After the run, classes will gather with their teachers for a closing announcement and cheer near the hill by the compound.

Kindergarten Details:

• PM Kindergarten students will participate in the run with the rest of the school.
• AM Kindergarten students will hold their Terry Fox Run on a different day with their teachers.

Donations:

We will be collecting donations for the Terry Fox Foundation from September 15–26. Students are encouraged to bring a “TOONIES FOR TERRY” or any donation amount of your choosing. Our school-wide goal is to raise $1,000! If we reach this goal, we will celebrate with a schoolwide pajama day.

Thank you for supporting this important cause!

A big thank you to the Ms. Babineau, Ms. Bello and Ms. Glaz's grade 1 classes for organizing the run this year!
