Try Like Terry

Posted on September 20, 2021 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

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!
