Last week our school participated in the Terry Fox run/walk.  We had talked about Terry Fox as a class and how he has helped to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.  In the morning, our entire school attended an assembly to listen to a speaker from Terry's team.  She was a former teacher from Saskatchewan who has survived cancer and now comes to schools to talk about her experiences.  After the assembly, our school did our own Terry Fox run/walk outside.
