October 2021 Newsletter

We were forced to do things a little differently again this year due to COVID restrictions, but we still managed to ensure all students participated in the Terry Fox School Run held on September 29th, 2021.

Thanks to the families who so graciously donated on our School Days website. We managed to raise $1309.00 for the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre.

Thank you so much for your generosity. This year marked the 41st anniversary where over 800 million dollars has been raised in Terry’s honour.

Happy New Year! As we reflect on the close of 2024, we hope it was a season rich with the company of family and friends—an opportunity to focus on what truly matters, creating lasting memories with those we hold dear. In the whirlwind of our daily lives, it’s easy to forget to carve out moments for ourselves and our loved ones, often thinking that tomorrow will offer more time. This year, our school community has faced some hard truths, reminding us all that tomorrow is never promised. As we step into the new year, we encourage you to make resolutions that prioritize living in the present, cherishing your own well-being, and nurturing the relationships that mean the most. May 2025 be a year of mindful living, where time spent with loved ones takes precedence, and we remember to value each moment.
