Terry Fox Day at WDSS

Students at WDSS are taking part in the school’s 10th annual Terry Fox event today. 

Teacher Nancy Schinkelshoek says since 2007 the school has raised about $7,000.

“We’ve already raised $440 through t-shirt sales,” Schinkelshoek says. “We’re hoping we can hit the $1000 mark and add another thousand to our grand total.”

Grade 7 and 8 students will take part in the walk as usual, but the school has also added a new fundraising component this year.

“We had several staff donate items, and we’re going to auction them off,” Schinkelshoek  explains.

Donated items include various gift cards, cupcakes, and hand-made sushi as well as bonus marks on tests, donated by the math department.

All money raised will be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation.
