Terry Fox lives here!

Dear Mom and Dad:

We started off the morning with a school assembly about Terry Fox. Many of us are familiar with who Terry Fox and have participated in the Terry Fox Run before. Next Wednesday we will be having a school picnic (please see below in housekeeping for more information)

We drew pictures of our summer memories to put into our visual journals. We learned a lot about each other by looking at each other's pictures that we drew. 

In gym, we learned a new game. It was so much fun and we were actually exercising while doing some math as well! Ask me to tell you how to play this game. I can play this game at home using a deck of cards. 

Question of the day: Why is Terry Fox considered a hero?

Housekeeping:

Dear Cranston Families,

Cranston School will be participating in the Terry Fox Celebration this year.  The focus of this year’s celebration will be participation and the awareness of the accomplishments of Terry Fox and the need to keep his dream alive.  This is our fifth anniversary of our school run.  For this reason this year’s goal is to raise $5000 as a school.  Students will have three opportunities to raise funds:

1.)   Bring a donation to the school to put in our fund raising jar.

2.)   Pledge forms – these will go home on Wednesday, Sept. 17

3.)   On-line pledges - go to http://www.terryfox.org  -click on donate to a student or school and follow the links.

Please only give what you feel comfortable with.  Every little bit counts!

            Our theme this year is “Spread the Word.”  Our students will be sharing their learning about Terry Fox in their classrooms. This year our school run will be on Wednesday, September 24^th. We would like to make this event a Family Run.  We encourage all families to join us at the school at 2:00 pm for a quick assembly and a special run through the Cranston pathways to the windmill.  We hope that the weather cooperates and we will be sharing some of our writing along the route.

            We are also having a Terry Fox Hot Dog Picnic on Wednesday, September 24^th.  If the weather cooperates we will be having our hotdogs outside with our classmates.  If the weather doesn’t cooperate we will have our picnic lunch in the school.  We ask that students bring a small blanket or a beach towel for their picnic lunch.  The money raised from the hot dog lunch will go to our fund raising effort.

Thank you,

Teresa Bowles
