Terry Fox Run

Grade Wars - Gr. 12's were "Bright and Tight"

Carman Collegiate celebrated the running of its 15th annual Terry Fox Run today.  Prior to going on the run, our students were involved in Grade Wars in the gym.  This involved in our students competing grade vs grade in various fun games.

After the Grade Wars, our students headed out onto the walking path for the Terry Fox Run.  Approximately 100 students ran the course.  Students raised over $1100 for us to donate to cancer research in Terry's name.  Thank you to all who pledged our students.

Grade 7's on the move.
