MANITOUWADGE, ON – Wednesday, September 28th was designated as the National Terry Fox School Walk to support research for Cancer. Each year the organization supplies the school with a participation kit, which includes documentation on Terry’s courageous battle with cancer; as well, stickers, participation certificates for each student, and a T-shirt to be raffled are included in the kit. Students at OLOL gathered in their school families to participate in the Terry Fox Walk. Several parents and extended family members joined us at the school. The lucky winner of the Terry Fox T-shirt was Mariah Sutherland; proudly wearing the shirt, Mariah lead the walk, with Constable John Hatch escorting the group to ensure everyone’s safety. Upon their return to school, everyone enjoyed a hot dog lunch. Donations by the students totalled $213.25. Thank you to Mrs. Milks and Mme Campbell for organizing this event.
In recognition for our yearly participation, a 5-year banner was awarded to the school by the Terry Fox Research Foundation. The banner reads:
TERRY FOX LIVES HERE!
