Last Friday we participated in a wonderful tradition that honours Terry Fox's legacy of courage and commitment to cancer research. This annual event not only celebrates his inspiring journey but also helps raise funds to support vital research and improve the lives of those affected by cancer. Many thanks to all those that donated. Our school will be accepting donations until the end of the month. If you would like to donate please do so using the following link, every dollar will help.
