Nelson students participated in our annual Terry Fox Run last Friday. After a late start to the year & only a few days of fundraising, bringing in Toonies for Terry & collecting pledges, we raised $1097 for the Terry Fox Foundation!! Incredible!! Our fundraising in the last couple years has been:
2011 ~ $502
2012 ~ $642
2013 ~ $1430.
We easily surpassed this year’s goal of $800! I’m so proud of all of your hard work!
