Terry Fox!

We had a great week!   Sadly, Period 2 has been split in half.  I will miss the students who have moved - you were such a co-operative, spirited group -  but know that you will probably see me again Semester 2!  It was such a pleasure working with you all.  This change will be beneficial for all students, and you will be able to get the attention you deserve with the smaller groups.

Around Ottawa last weekend and this week, you may have heard or seen the Terry Fox Run.   It was 35 years ago that he captured the hearts of all Canadians.   We watched a short video about Terry Fox and are looking at character traits.

Here is a link for the Terry Fox movie.  It is older, but gives you more details about his character and why he is such an important hero for Canada.
