Lord Kelvin Elementary students are on their way to raising more than $700 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
Students across the New Westminster school district took part in the annual Terry Fox Run last Thursday, including all students, staff and teachers at Kelvin. Students at Kelvin were encouraged to bring $1 to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation, but they went above and beyond that goal and raised a whopping $634 plus $70 online.
Kindergarten teacher Stephanie Musgrove organizes the annual event, which includes a short assembly before everyone heads over to Moody Park to do a lap of the park. This year, the school also honoured two of its own who had battled breast cancer – Ruby Sihota and Lily Reich. They were recognized with special red T-shirts and given a standing ovation by staff, students and parents during the assembly.
Donations are still being accepted until the end of the week. Go to tinyurl.com/KelvinFoxRun to donate.
