Terry Fox 2018 Wrap Up Our Terry Fox Wrap Up Celebration Assembly was a little later than normal, but it was certainly worth the wait! On Friday Nov 23, we got together to participate in various staff versus student Minute-To-Win-It Challenges, as an incentive for raising $20,000 in our annual campaign. The Terry Fox Student Helpers were busy setting up, organizing the class cheering teams, running each of the challenges, and keeping score. The activities included: Candy Vac, Cookie Monster, Defying Gravity, Junk in the Trunk The Jiggle Effect, Stack Attack and Wrecking Ball. The student teams consisted of: Ari, Bridget, Callum, Christian, Dana, Garrett, Jackie, Kara, Ruby, Sacha, Shannon and Wesley. The staff teams consisted of: Mr. Bracht, Mr. Currie, Ms. Furczon, Mr. Littlejohn, Mr. Ourique, Mr. Ross, Ms. Stefanowicz, Mrs. S. Taylor, Ms. Westover, Ms. Wieczorek, Mrs. Younger and Ms. Zappi. It certainly was a lot of fun, not only for the participants, but also all of the audience members. It was very competitive (for some more than others) and in the end, it was the staff that came out victorious. During the assembly, Mrs. Gibson mentioned that our fundraising goal was to beat last years’ total of $21,727.45. The amount of money raised this year, through cookie and Ice Dawg sales, t-shirt sales, raffle tickets, curriculum night donations, and student fundraising, was $22,466.16. That puts our total over the past 18 years at $481,168.72! What an incredible accomplishment! Terry certainly lives here at LKS! Keeping his dream alive, in finding a cure for cancer, continues to be a priority within our community! We are looking so forward to next year, when we should surpass the half-a-million mark!
