Dear Parents\/Guardians,<\/p>\n
On Thursday, September 28 at 1:00 pm, our school will be participating in our annual Terry Fox Run. Fairview students from Kindergarten to Grade 7 will be running\/walking in support of Terry Fox\u2019s dream\u2026 a world without cancer.<\/p>\n
Our Kindergarten students will walk\/run on the field inside the school grounds. Students from Gr. 1 \u2013 Gr. 7 will walk\/run the usual designated route.\u00a0 A walking permission form must be signed for students to leave the school grounds.\u00a0 Please make sure this is done on the portal before the Terry Fox Run otherwise students will have to walk\/run on the field.<\/p>\n
Students will take part in the run rain or shine; therefore, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and is wearing comfortable runners.<\/p>\n

As well, families can donate directly online at http:\/\/www.terryfox.ca\/FairviewElementaryMapleRidge <\/a><\/p>\n and receive a tax receipt within minutes. Let\u2019s give it our best try for a great cause!\u00a0 Our goal this year is to raise $1000.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, September 26 at 8:45am we will have guest speaker, Kirsten Fox, Terry Fox\u2019s niece, speak to students to help inspire and educate them about Terry Fox and his legacy.<\/p>\n
