Yay Nelson!! I have just received word of our grand total for our Terry Fox Run in September. A big thank you to all of our fundraisers this year. It was not an easy year to raise money and we beat our goal of $2,000. by more than 50%!
As for our school total…Drumroll please…
$3, 104.75

Nelson students participated in our 32nd annual Terry Fox Run on Fri. Sept. 24th. We have a goal of $2,000 and after a week of fundraising during a pandemic, we raised an incredible amount of money for the Terry Fox Foundation! Way to go Nelson!!
We continue to be one of the highest fundraising schools in Burnaby with fundraising totals over the last few years being:
2017 ~ $2, 802          2018 ~ $2, 030
2019 ~ $3, 000

Nelson’s Terry Fox run will take place on Friday at 1:45pm.  Nelson will be meeting on Zoom to remember Terry and think about what’s possible, if we just Try like Terry. Then classes will be warming up and then running together on our usual routes around the school! All this week Nelson students and teachers are being encouraged to donate at least one toonie through School Cash Online and have the fundraising goal of $2,000…but I think we can beat it by at least 50%. Let’s! Go! Nelson!

Friday, March 13th is Jump Day!
We will be joining our big buddies in the gym on Friday at 2:00 to participate in Jump Rope for Heart 2020! We’ll be skipping for an hour and participating in many challenges along with Ms. Sam and Mr. Tesan’s classes. Everyone’s been working hard on their skipping moves and I’m so excited for all the fun! Remember to keep collecting pledges and return your envelopes on the 1st day back after Spring Break! Remember to wear runners and comfortable, cool clothing for an hour of jumping! Don’t forget to bring your water bottle as well! Go Nelson Go!
