The Good Shepherd school community is excited to once again be participating in the annual “Terry Fox School Walk”. While the event will be a little different this year, we are proud to be continuing the legacy of one of our greatest Canadian heroes. During this year’s Terry Fox Walk, we will also be remembering Mrs. Ferrigni-Nardi, a teacher from Good Shepherd, who sadly lost her battle with cancer in August, 2020.
Our Terry Fox Walk is scheduled for Friday, October 1st, during the last period of the school day. Our rain date is Monday, October 4th. Students will be participating with their teacher and class cohort, and will be walking (rather than running) around the school yard, while practicing social distancing protocols. Students are encouraged to wear their favourite red and white outfits on that date. Unfortunately, due to COVID 19 restrictions we cannot have any parents or guardians join us this year.
Please support this important cause by donating online to the Terry Fox Foundation, using our school’s fundraising link: http://www.terryfox.ca/GoodShepherdCESEastGwillimbury
Receipts will be emailed immediately and there is no minimum donation. With your help, Terry’s dream will live on and a cure for cancer will be found!
