Here’s a note from our Terry Fox Committee:

Dear Parents and W.S. Hawrylak Community,

On Thursday Sept 29, our students will participate in our annual Terry Fox Walk/Run around the community.  W.S. Hawrylak has been involved with the Terry Fox campaign for 19 years!  Students are invited to wear our school colours of blue and white on the day of our walk.  For the entire week of Sept 25-30 students will be bringing in their donations to support the Terry Fox campaign and Cancer Research.  Donations may be given to teachers or be made online by logging in on the Terry Fox Foundation website http://www.terryfox.org and clicking on the Terry Fox School Run icon. Look for W.S. Hawrylak School and proceed to make your donation.  Any donation greater than $20.00 will receive a tax receipt.  If you donate online send a note to your child’s teacher informing them of your donation amount, as the class that raises the most funds for Cancer Research will receive an extra recess and a healthy treat.

We are also recording the kilometers that students walk daily for the week of Sept. 25-29, so please get out with your family and enjoy being outdoors and walk, run, bike, skateboard or rollerblade.  Students will be asked daily how many kilometers they traveled and this will be recorded for each class.  We are hoping to meet or exceed the distance that Terry walked in his Marathon of Hope.

Thank you for your support of this very worthwhile cause. Those able to join their child/class for the walk/run at 2:30 on Thursday Sept. 29 are more than welcome to join us.
