Terry Fox Run/Walk

On October 1st, the students and staff of Thornhill Woods P.S. took part in our annual Terry Fox Walk/Run.  This year it was decided to locate the walk entirely on school property.  Our Vice Principal, Ms. Nassar worked with our Gr. 8 student leaders to plan, organize and conduct the walk to symbolically complete the original Marathon of Hope that was sadly cut short 35 years ago.

The Gr. 8's planned routes around the school property and on that beautiful, sunny Thursday, participants ran or walked the laps; recording each one on tally charts (see below). In total, students, staff and parents walked/ran just over 3500 km in one day!  As well, through our "Toonies for Terry" Campaign, our school raised $1, 160 for the Terry Fox Foundation.

This achievement is a testament to the volunteerism and goodwill that is integral to our school spirit.   Terry Fox dreamed it, he believed it and together we achieved it!.

  Go Timberwolves!
