Terry Fox Run a Great Success!

Twentieth Street School held their annual Terry Fox Run this past Wednesday and the event was a huge success. We are still tabulating the results of our 'Toonie for Terry' drive, but Room 214 raised $43 alone towards our school target of $300. Thanks to you and your contributions, the Terry Fox Foundation can continue to fund research for treatments to cancers that affect children and adults around the world.

As a part of our social studies curriculum, our class also spent time talking about what it really means to be a hero like Terry Fox was. We decided together that a hero:

• Helps others, even if they don't know the person they are helping
• Works hard every day to achieve their goals
• Always tries their best
• Works as a team with others

We have also decided that our classroom is full of heroes that can do these things every day! We are so excited about this that we decided to make a book filled with the reasons we were running on the day of the big run. Stay tuned for Room 214's first published Book of Heroes!
