 <\/p>\n

Even with our school year starting late this year, we still managed to get our learning in about Terry Fox. \u00a0In our class we discussed his life and what he accomplished in that short life. \u00a0We had a talk about cancer and how, because of the awareness that Terry brought to this serious disease, more and more people are surviving than did in the past.<\/p>\n

As next Spring is the 35th anniversary of when Terry began his Marathon of Hope, we are focusing our major fundraising efforts for then. \u00a0We will also be doing our big run then, as well. \u00a0We had planned to do our regular run two weeks ago – and then a more involved one next Spring – but the weather was rather inclement that day. \u00a0We had a short assembly followed by our (indoor) corn roast instead. \u00a0With the students we talked about how Terry ran in all sorts of weather (fair or foul) but he was an adult and could make that choice for himself. \u00a0We didn’t think it was a good choice for our young students.<\/p>\n

In our class we did write, on special sticker forms, for whom we were going to be running. \u00a0We will use these next Spring. \u00a0Today, as a part of one of our Fin’s Friends (Canucks’ character building programme) we discussed ‘perseverence’. \u00a0Naturally Terry was again discussed as I cannot think of anyone better suited as a role model for not giving up – no matter how difficult something is. \u00a0Students seemed to really understand what it means to persevere and will, hopefully, be able to incorporate that trait into their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
