Today we had an SLC after lunch. If we raise a lot of money, five teachers will dye their hair for a day green and blue. - Jenna
Today was awesome because we were watching a video about Terry Fox. - Kyra
It was just going to be the teachers dying their hair green, because of the school colours. But then they thought about Blue Bombers and now they're doing it half blue and half green. - Logan
We're going to raise money for Terry Fox. If we raise enough money for cancer, we will have a Crazy Hat Day and if we raise even more, Mr. H. and four more teachers will have blue and green hair. - Alexandra
We had an SLC today, and we heard a letter read from Terry Fox's dad. - Jade
We had our Terry Fox fundraising campaign kick-off at school today. Terry has always been a big hero of mine - I was a young elementary school student during his Marathon of Hope, way back in 1980. I followed his run every night on the news (way before the Internet was around!), and dreamed of seeing him run through Manitoba. I remember being absolutely crushed when he had to stop his run near Thunder Bay when his cancer returned, and crying the day that he died. Watching those videos, all these years later, still brings tears to my eyes.
The school has been challenged to raise $1000 - if they reach this goal, the school will have a Crazy Hat Day. If they raise $1500, Ms. Hanna will colour her hair blue and green for a day. After that, for every additional $500 the students raise, another teacher will have their hair coloured - my 'magic number' is $2000. So come on, Radisson - I know you can do it!
