Dear Parents/Caregivers:
We are excited to announce that our school will be proudly taking part in the 2022 Terry Fox School Run, scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 22, 2022 (rainy day-Monday, September 26) . We hope that we can continue to show the great strength and resiliency of our school community with your support of one of our greatest Canadian heroes, Terry Fox. Let’s all use Terry’s message of hope and strength to inspire us during these challenging times. The Terry Fox Foundation has created an online fundraising page for our school as well as provide student/classroom “Terry” activities. Here are some of the ways you can support your child for this year’s Terry Fox event:

Terry Fox t-shirt designed by Canadian artist Douglas Coupland in collaboration with the Fox Family, the shirt features a dot-screened portrait of Terry and the words “I’m Not a Quitter” printed on the back. This year’s shirt embodies Terry’s fierce determination and no-quit attitude, perfectly captured in his quote, “Nobody is ever going to call me a quitter.
The Terry Fox Event at Our Lady of the Rosary will take place on Thursday, September 22, 2022. Our start time will be at 9:00 am with classes being staggered every 5-10 minutes.
- ● The Grades 5-8 classes will walk the traditional route. (Up Glen Shields to Dufferin, North on Dufferin and back around to Glen Shields)

- ● The JK-SK will walk around the school grounds.
In keeping with the school spirit, we ask that all students dress in Terry Fox t-shirts from the past or present, or our school t-shirt, red and white. We are very excited to be a part of this year’s Terry Fox event. This is our opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those suffering from cancer as well as build school spirit. We hope you will join us as our school community works together in the fight against cancer.
Thank you in advance for your support! Stay safe, stay strong!
Sincerely,
The Terry Fox Committee Our Lady of the Rosary CES
