St. Marguerite d’Youville Terry Fox Walk!

Once again, St. Marguerite d’Youville is pleased to be hosting its “Terry Fox Walk” on Thursday, September 22, 2022. We at St. Marguerite d’Youville continue to have two very important goals for our walk; to have all of our students be able to articulate why Terry has become such a historic figure within our Canadian history and to raise funds, in his memory, towards his dream of one day finding a cure for cancer. Through our participation, we hope that students will be able to view themselves as agents of positive change. Toward these goals, we at St. Marguerite d’Youville will be asking our  JK – Gr. 8 students to bring in an optional $2.00 cash donation (in a clearly-marked and sealed ziplock bag with the words “Toonie for Terry”) on Thursday, September 22 (rain date is Monday, September 26). Alternatively, parents/guardians may go on-line and donate to: https://schools.terryfox.ca/stmargueritedyouvillecesrichmondhill. This will take you directly to the St. Marguerite d’Youville school page. Please click “Donate” and fill out the required information. You may also leave an    inspirational message, if you so choose. The Walking Excursion Form went home with your child/children on the first day of school and the Terry Fox letter will be sent home next week. We are very proud to be associated with the Terry Fox Foundation and believe that our involvement will be such a positive launch to our school year. Let’s keep Terry’s dream alive!
