Adventures in Room. 7

Our Terry Fox run was so much fun! Our students were so proud of themselves for getting out there, even though the weather was a bit chilly. Thank you for all of the generous donations and helping to keep Terry's legacy alive. On Friday, our class started drawing Terry Fox portraits and so far they look amazing! We have some little artists in our classroom... It looks like winter has started early this year. Please send your child to school in weather appropriate clothing. A reminder that we continue to have an outdoor recess unless the weather is colder than -20 degrees. Winter coats, snow pants, snow shoes, mittens/gloves, scarves and toques will help keep our little ones warm on the playground. Looking forward to another wonderful week ahead!

Our Terry Fox School Run is just around the corner! Please join us at 9:15 a.m. on Friday, September 27 for our Terry Fox Assembly and Run. We are honoured that our school will be joining the efforts of over 3 million students across Canada in carrying on Terry’s legacy by raising funds for cancer research. Support our school’s efforts by donating today at :  http://www.terryfox.ca/Marlborough   We have sent home stickers that say "I am running for____________" Please fill those in with a name  and send back by Thursday September 26th.
