Terry Fox Run

Hello Spring Valley families:

The staff and students of Spring Valley are looking forward to participating in the National Terry Fox School Run on Thursday October 15, 2020! (rain date Friday October 16).

This year marks the 40th year since Terry Fox began his Marathon of Hope.

The run/walk will kick off at 9:40 a.m. with special announcements about Terry Fox and from the Fox family. Our classes will be participating in 20-30 minute run/walks throughout the day. Students are encouraged to keep moving for the entire time as they participate with their class cohort. We are continuing to separate cohorts for safety.
Last year, our school raised over $4000 for the Terry Fox Foundation. Though we are unable to fundraise as a school this year, we hope your family will visit the Terry Fox website to see how you can continue to support “one of Canada’s biggest displays of solidarity against cancer while setting an example of compassion, fostering school spirit, encouraging physical activity, and having fun!” (www.terryfox.org).

On the day of our run, students will be wearing an “I’m running for” sticker on their shirt. We hope that, prior to October 15, you might take a moment to talk about a special person in your child’s life for which they can run. Perhaps they will run for Terry and help finish the run on his behalf. (Most primary students will be asked to complete the stickers at home and to attend school on the run date already wearing their stickers. Thank you).

Thank you for your compassion, generosity and cooperation in supporting this very worthwhile event.
Staff and students,

Spring Valley School
