KEELER SCHOOL’S MARATHON OF HOPE
“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.” – Terry Fox
Dear Parents/ Guardians:
Once again, Keeler School is pleased to be hosting its annual Terry Fox Run/Walk on Thursday, September 26, 2019. We will kick it off with an assembly starting at 1:00 pm, followed by the run/walk.
As in previous years, our course will be mapped out on school grounds. In the spirit of belonging and generosity, all students will be expected to take part in the run/walk, regardless of the amount of money they raise.
As part of our campaign and making connections to Terry Fox’s generosity, we will also have classroom Terry Fox bins to collect Toonies for Terry (or whatever you would like to donate). Our goal this year is $800. Our great admin team has agreed to “get pied in the face” if we meet our goal. Teachers have said if we exceed our goal for each $100 a teacher will be added to the “pie in the face”.
Thank you for your support. Lets keep Terry’s dream alive!
Sincerely,
The Terry Fox Team
Post Script:
Keeler School is very proud of our contribution to cancer research. Through the generosity of the families in our school community, last year we were successful in raising money for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Today marks the first day of our 2019 Terry Fox Campaign. Our school will be accepting donations from now until the end of the month-every little bit helps! All money raised through our event will be forwarded to the Terry Fox Foundation in support of cancer research. Tax receipts will be issued for donations of $20 or more on pledge sheet.
If you choose to help your child collect donations, a pledge form is attached to this notice. Extra pledge forms will be available at the office.
