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!
