Thank you so much to all who came to our Meet the Teacher event last night. It was awesome to see everyone.

Terry Fox Run
Dr. Roberta Bondar School is getting ready for the 2025 Terry Fox School Run taking place on Friday, September 26th. This year marks 45 years since Terry Fox ran his Marathon of Hope. We’re excited to take part in this annual tradition that raises awareness and funds for cancer research, celebrates the legacy and values of Terry Fox, and promotes connection, community, and school spirit at Dr. Roberta Bondar School. Please support our fundraising efforts as we look to achieve our goal of $4500 by donating at: https://schools.terryfox.ca/DrRobertaBondarSchool
“Terry Fox started a marathon against cancer. Together we can finish it.”
