October 2021 Newsletter

We were forced to do things a little differently again this year due to COVID restrictions, but we still managed to ensure all students participated in the Terry Fox School Run held on September 29th, 2021.

Thanks to the families who so graciously donated on our School Days website. We managed to raise $1309.00 for the Georgian Bay Cancer Support Centre.

Thank you so much for your generosity. This year marked the 41st anniversary where over 800 million dollars has been raised in Terry’s honour. It would be difficult to say that we all don’t know someone who has been touched by cancer and Terry’s “Marathon of Hope” reminds us to keep striving to find a cure.

The 78th annual Winterama festivities and parade took place over the Family Day weekend, and students and staff entered a Burkevale Float with the theme of “Love My Community.” A special thanks goes to Ms. Cameron, Ms. Currie, Ms. Rever, and Ms. Lethbridge for designing the float, as well as to all of the students and families who were a part of the day. The float looked amazing, and we were so proud of its first place finish once again! A huge thank you is also due to Towne Towing in Midland for generously donating the driver, truck, and trailer for the parade.
