Some Cool Challenges
A Terry Fox Run Challenge is where goals, grit, and school spirit all come together! Students set exciting personal and school-wide goals, cheer each other on, and then get fundraising! As momentum builds, so does the energy across the school. Classes celebrate fundraising milestones, encouragement echoes through the halls, and everyone feels part of something bigger. Every step brings us all closer to a world without cancer. Together, we can Finish It.
