Terry Fox Run


Today we began learning the lyrics to the song "Run, Terry, Run" in honour of Terry Fox and in preparation for the Terry Fox Walk/Run. We hope to perform this song for the school.


One of the things we learned was Terry ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day! That's about 42 kilometers! And Terry did it with a prosthetic leg!


To give the students a very small taste of what it would mean to run that distance, I challenged the entire class to run and accumulate the equivalent of 42 kilometers between now and the day of A. Lorne Cassidy Terry Fox Walk/Run. Every day we will run in the yard, measure how far we ran as a class and keep a tally of our daily achievements. Hopefully we can reach our goal in time.
