2014 Terry Fox Run

Principal Ms. Car and Students Running
Walk to Rupert Park in the Rain

Dr. A.R. Lord  students, staff and families braved the soggy weather on Friday Sept 26th to participate in the School Terry Fox Run.  Everyone walked from the school to Rupert Park and then ran two laps around the park.  

The Terry Fox run is a school tradition and the rain didn't dampen the spirit of all the participants.  Terry Fox often ran in the most inclement weather day after day during the Marathon of Hope in 1980 which he undertook to raise awareness for Cancer and with the goal to find a cure.

PAC Snacks
Kids in Action
After the run, everyone was treated to a snack of juice and granola bar compliments of the Parent Advisory Council (PAC).



It was such a great opportunity to teach our children about this worthy cause and for all of to remember who Terry Fox was.

Class room lessons, fundraising and posters are also part of this campaign.  Well Done All!
