Dear GDHS Families,
On Thursday, Oct 2, the two Grade 12 Fitness & Recreation Leadership classes are excited to be organizing Terry Fox Day at GDHS.
The day will begin with the entire school walking through downtown Georgetown, representing a small piece of what Terry Fox accomplished during his run across Canada.
Our online donation page can be found here: GDHS Terry Fox
Throughout the day, students will be able to participate in several fun activities to raise money and awareness for the Terry Fox Foundation:
-
$1 Parking Pass – All school parking will be $1 per spot. Leadership students will be stationed at the parking lot entrances collecting payments and handing out passes. Tickets can also be pre-purchased in the café on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday during periods 2, 3, or 4.
-
Teacher Nightmare – Students can donate for the chance to “torture” their favorite teachers with fun challenges, such as whipped cream pies to the face or duct-taping teachers to the café wall. Donations will be collected on the day of the event.
-
Intramurals - Students may select one period during the day to participate in intramurals. The cost is $5.25, with all proceeds donated to the Terry Fox Foundation. Payment must be made on CASHLESS, and forms should be picked up and returned to the PE office. Spaces are limited.
-
Period 2: Spikeball
-
Period 3: Dodgeball
-
Period 4: Basketball
-
Period 5: Volleyball
-
Pizza & Ice Cream Sandwich Sales - Hungry? Grab a large pizza for $20 or treat yourself to an ice cream sandwich for $3.25 — all available on CASHLESS! Deadline: Wed, Oct. 1st @ noon.
We thank you in advance for your support. This event is a student-led initiative and a wonderful opportunity to continue Terry Fox’s legacy while raising awareness for cancer research.
Sincerely,
