Gr. 3-7s participated in the school’s largest relay race, Food Bank Frenzy. Food Bank Frenzy (FBF) provides a fun and active way for our school to support the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society. The goal of the FBF is to raise awareness of the Food Bank’s needs, to show off our school spirit, and have a friendly House competition.
Each team must provide 200 items of food. Thank you to everyone who brought food donations for this very important cause!
From Grades 1 to 12, all of our students showed up in house colours to run and show their support for the Terry Fox Foundation. This “whole school” event pairs Grades 1 to 3 with a Grade 11 or 12 “buddy”. The rain didn’t dampen anyone’s spirit. After the girls ran around the Shaughnessy block, they enjoyed games on Lindsay Field.
Our Community Service Captains, Angela and Aria, did a fabulous job of organizing the Terry Fox Run this year. A huge thanks also goes to Ms. Kaddage for all her work supporting our student leaders.
Following the Terry Fox Run, Senior School students then took part in the annual tug-of-war and balloon toss events to see which House would win Sports-a-Rama. In first place was Iroquois! Thank you to our House Captains, Navkiran, Ishira, Sheriden and Michelle for building school spirit in the first few weeks of the year!
