Terry Fox Sharing Coming Up!

This Wednesday, the whole school will be getting together for our first Sharing of the year!

We'll be hearing about Terry Fox and will be reminded why we fundraise for the Terry Fox Foundation every year.

Terry's two main goals for his run across Canada were to raise awareness about cancer and to raise one dollar from every Canadian. I think we can raise one dollar from every Churchill student, and even more money from our school community. How big do you think our community is?

If you want to fundraise this year, you can either bring money in to school or do your fundraising online. You can sign up online to fundraise, just visit the link with your parents, click on "Join this School Run" and then follow the sign-up process.

To get ready for the Sharing, we'll listen to and practice this song: Run Fox Run.

Run Fox Run


You gave us a dream as big as our land
A mountain of hope from a humble man
Chasing a cure one mile at a time
Facing home you would smile,
Take a breath and hit your stride

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts

A marathon a day
Through the wind and rain
You believed in a miracle
Beyond the pain
Now there's unfinished business
And we're racing the clock
For today and tomorrow
We can't rest til' the hurting stops

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts

Your spirit runs farther and stronger each day
Helping us to go the distance and to keep the faith

Come on run Fox run
Into our hearts
You can run Fox run, run, run
Into our hearts
