CRAIK—September 24 brought 78 Craik students together, along with school faculty, to run/walk in support of the Terry Fox Run. Students in grades Kindergarten to 2, participated in a 1.5-kilometre loop while older students took a 4-km route.
Participants enjoyed cold ice-cream treats after working up a sweat in the welcome warm weather.
The annual fundraising event was organized by the Grade 11 students and raised $1,550 for the Terry Fox Foundation, a registered Canadian charity that has, to date, raised over $650 million for cancer research.
