Kindergarten Terry Fox Run: Thursday, October 5, 2017

Dear Parents/Guardians:
On Thursday, October 5th, 2017, KINDERGARTEN students in at our school will be taking part in the annual Terry Fox KINDERGARTEN Run, 9:15-10:00am. Around the school track.
We will be running rain or shine, so dress appropriately. Do not forget your running shoes.
Students will have the opportunity to discuss the heroic efforts of Terry over the next week and raise TOONIES, for cancer research. Through their participation in the annual KINDERGARTEN Run, we hope that our students will view themselves as positive agents of change giving the best of themselves, just like Terry did.
We will be collecting TOONIES for Terry.  All monies raised will be forwarded to The Terry Fox Foundation. Those students unable to bring in donations are welcome to participate in the event as well.
Please submit TOONIES by: Thursday, October 5th.
We are very pleased to be a part of this year’s Terry Fox Event as we encourage our students to develop a sense of volunteerism and goodwill, while celebrating school spirit. Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
The Kindergarten Team at Fern Avenue P.S.

Run route location/details:
We will run the school track, located in the Junior/Senior Yard, 9:15-10:00am.
Kindergarten families are welcome to join us in our run.

Fern Running Club

Happy Monday Fern Falcons!  And Happy Earth Day.  We will have a running club, open to students of all ages, every Friday morning, from 8:30-9:00am, around the track.  Kindergarten students must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children in other grades are welcome to drop in and join us, and then will be dismissed when regular yard duty begins at 9:00am.  This is a club, and not a team, there will be no tryouts, there will be no meet/competition. We will be running for ourselves and promoting movement, the joy of running, and healthy habits.  Feel free to join us. Our first running club date will be Friday, May 3rd.  Cheers,  Mrs. Heller and Madame Miya
