On Thursday, September 26th, 2024, OLHC staff and students will be participating in our very own Terry Fox Walk/Run event. The students will be walking around our school or neighborhood in honor of Terry Fox with the hope of keeping his dream alive while raising funds for cancer research. Kindergarten and Primary teachers will walk their students around the perimeter of the school. Students in the Junior and Intermediate grades will walk our neighborhood (at the teacher’s discretion) approximately 1 km in length. Information about this Canadian Hero will be circulated to the individual classes and students will be given an opportunity to learn about Terry Fox and the services performed by the Terry Fox Foundation, while at the same time promoting exercise as an important part of a healthy lifestyle.
As part of our fundraising for this charitable initiative, we will be selling the annual Terry Fox Foundation T-Shirt which students will be invited to wear on our school event day and other special event days this year. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go directly to our school fundraising total for the Terry Fox Foundation. All T-Shirt orders must be placed using your School Day account by September 15th, 2024. For further details related to the T-Shirt orders and our school event, please see the following link: OLHC 2024 Terry Fox Event Details
