Terry Fox Day
The DRBS Terry Fox Run will take place on Wednesday, September 25th, with opening an assembly at 2:00pm and students heading directly from there to the run component (I’d guess around 2:25pm or so). We’ll make sure to get the kids back inside for 3:00pm to leave a bit of time to gather their belongings.

Please share the following blurb with your students’ families if you can, whether that be via school messenger or another mode of communication.
