TERRY FOX
NATIONAL SCHOOL RUN DAY: FRI., SEPT. 25,
2015 @ 1:15 p.m.
This
year will mark the 35th Anniversary
of the Terry Fox Run! Last year our school raised
$ 5, 562.90! All staff and students are encouraged to wear
the colours RED and WHITE on this day. Each
month this year, we will be having a different monthly spirit day on the same
day as our Character Education Assemblies (the last Friday of every month)!
This
year, IRC will commemorate the 35th Anniversary
in an exciting and fun way by doing the following:
1.
All students will be
rewarded with a 15 min extra recess period if our school raises more than last
year’s total.
2.
There will be a draw in
the office for 2 Terry Fox T-shirts (1 for a primary student and 1 for a junior
student).
Important: This year, all donations must be done on line. No cash and/or cheques will be accepted at
the school. Donating on line is fast,
easy and eco-friendly! On line donations will provide parents and families with
the opportunity to donate whatever amount they wish for this most worthy cause.

Every
child will walk with their individual class that day for approx. 20-30 min. Each classroom teacher will be given a
designated route around the IRC community. The time and/or distance around the
route will depend on the range of ability of the students in the class. Ms.
Braz and Ms. Fenton will be taking the junior
gr. 4-6 students who are on the Cross Country Running team on a run vs. a walk
for this event. All other students
will walk their classroom route with their teacher. Our event starts at 1:15 p.m. Parent
volunteers are most welcome to participate and provide extra assistance with
the supervision of students while walking in the community. If you would like to join your child in this
event, please speak directly with your child’s teacher.
