School Photo Reminder


Terry Fox Run 


Thursday, September 25, 2025 2:15pm 

This year's Terry Fox run/walk will occur on Thursday, September 25th from 2:15pm to 2:45pm. We have begun preparing for the event in Physical Education and discussing Terry's heroic efforts in raising awareness and funds for cancer research.  

Students will attend a pre-run pep rally to at 1:45pm. Following this, students will walk to the West Bowl to participate in our school wide run. Students wishing to keep track of their laps will find their assigned class volunteer and will get a line marked on their hand with marker after every completed lap.  

For more information about Terry Fox and the Terry Fox Foundation, please visit this website: https://terryfoxschoolrun.org/.  

Interested families are welcome to bring a Toonie for Terry on September 25th . 

 

Get Your School Spirit Wear 

Due to popular requests last year, we have added in toques to our School Spirit Wear Fundraising! Hawks gear is great for families to wear at school, in the community, while volunteering or at home.  

So far, we have had a slow start to our School Spirit Wear Fundraising and it’s at risk of being cancelled due to lack of orders.  We will be extending the deadline to order until September 22, 2025. Follow the attached link to order!

If you want your school merchandise, order now as this may be the only offering for this school year. 

 Thanks for your support and we look forward to everyone showing off your Hawk Spirit Wear! 

Once orders are in it will take approximately 5-6 weeks for them to be processed.  All items will be delivered to the school for your child to bring home.  Go Hawks!
