Dear Parents/Caregivers:
We are excited to announce that our school will be proudly taking part in the 2024 Terry Fox School Run, scheduled to take place on Thursday September 26, 2024 (rainy day-Monday, September 30th) . 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:
1) Donate online at: https://schools.terryfox.ca/OurLadyoftheRosaryCSConcord
There is no minimum donation, every dollar counts!
Receipts are issued immediately to donors by email
2) Purchase a shirt online through the Terry Fox foundation
Terry Fox T-Shirt youth 6X or Youth medium ($20.00) Terry Fox T-Shirt adult sizes ($25.00)
The 2024 Terry Fox Run shirt was designed with help from Ryan Reynolds and the Fox Family. The shirt features messages Terry and his family received both past and present, and celebrates how his story and legacy continues to inspire people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities in Canada and beyond. All merchandise sales are added to your school’s fundraising total and support cancer research.
The Terry Fox Event at Our Lady of the Rosary will take place on Thursday, September 26, 2024. Our start time will be at 9:00 am.
- 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 grades 3-4 will be walking on Glen Shields towards Dufferin and back down on Glen Shields back to the school.
- The grades 1-2 will walk a 1k route up Glen shields turn right on Crooked Street
- 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
