Thanks for A Great Cross-Country Season!

Dr. A.R. Lord's Cross-Country Team had their final meet today at Trout Lake.  The weather was better than we could have imagined and it was great to see our students' yellow jerseys and smiling faces among the many hundreds of participants attending from around the city. 

Thanks to the students for such a great attitude and for attending morning practices, and an extra-special thanks to Ms. Burke and Ms. O'Neill for their time and dedication, and for making this possible for our students.

Dr. A.R. Lord students are active!

Our students have been keeping active as fall arrives with several exciting running events.

On Wednesday September 28, all students participated in the 31st annual Terry Fox Run.  Divisions 1-5 ran with other schools at Empire Bowl, while Divisions 6 and 7 ran in the schoolyard. Students have been bringing in a "Toonie for Terry" all week; funds go towards cancer research.  They have also been learning about Terry Fox in class.

Also on Wednesday, our school's cross-country team participated in their first mini-meet at Clinton Park.  Franklin, Maquinna, Garibaldi, Thunderbird, and Britannia schools were also there.  The weather was beautiful and all runners received a ribbon to celebrate their accomplishments.

All classes are also currently "running across Canada".  Students run during class time, and the distances are added up to take us right across the country!  We are already past Hope close to Banff!
