Hello Fabulous Fours,
Welcome to week 3 of school.
Terry Fox Assembly and Run
Hello Prince of Wales! We are excited to participate in our annual Terry Fox Run. This is our 16th year participating in the run and the 40th Anniversary of the Terry Fox run. This year we are not collecting donations at the school, however if you would like to donate please visit www.terryfox.ca/PrinceofWales to donate if you so choose. Donating is completely optional.
Due to circumstances this year we are unable to host the head shave/ponytail chop, but we can continue with our annual run on the ridge.
The Grade 4’s and Grade 2’s are hosting our virtual assembly for Thursday morning.
Teacher’s will be sending out a date and time for their classes to participate in the run on the ridge. Dates and times will vary due to social distancing.
We look forward to encouraging our students to “Be like Terry” by fostering his values of determination, courage, perseverance and compassion. Don’t forget to wear Red and White on Run day!
Upcoming Events:
Sept. 16 – School Council meeting – virtual meeting
Sept. 18 – Terry Fox run on the ridge at 8:30am

Daily Challenge:
HM thought this would be a good daily challenge for us. What was the goal you chose to work on this week? Why did you choose that goal? What are the strategies you are going to use to work on this goal?
