Sept 15 - Terry Fox Run Information

 Terry Fox Run 2026

Each September, students at Northern Lights School will join thousands of schools worldwide in the annual Terry Fox Event.  In preparation for the event, students reflect on topics such as Terry Fox’s legacy, meeting challenges, empathy, and setting personal goals.  You may wish to support your child’s learning about Terry Fox through discussion at home.  Further information can be found at https://terryfox.org/. 

On Thursday, September 17, students will run around a designated course on the field beside the school.  In case of inclement weather, the run will take place indoors during regularly scheduled Phys. Ed. classes. 

Students and families are invited to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation in the following ways: by contributing cash or cheques, made payable to The Terry Fox Foundation, to classroom collection boxes; or online. Online donations may be made at: https://schools.terryfox.ca/98133. Tax receipts will be issued by the Terry Fox Foundation for donations over $20.00.  All money raised through our event will be forwarded to the Foundation to further the cause of cancer research.  The deadline for donation is Friday, September 18. 

Let’s help Northern Lights School keep Terry’s dream of finding a cure for cancer alive.

Hello 5C families,  Today we had an in-service to better understand how having impaired vision would impact our learning from day to day. We learned about the learning materials and tools available as support. Check out all of the activities that students participated in today and ask them all about the aftenoon! We also wrote about our strengths and goals, shared and edited our writing, and then visited the music space where we will be learning with our neighboring 5B class. Check out these videos.   Who invented Braille? How to be a sighted guide? Take care for now, Mrs. Harris
