The Terry Fox Marathon of Hope
Sept. 28 @ 10:45
In support of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope, all students across Canada will be participating in an event at their school on Friday, September 28, 2018. To support fund raising for cancer research, all students and teachers at Hubbard Elementary will participate in a walk around the school grounds on this date.
Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, in which he ran a marathon a day for 143 consecutive days in 1980 to raise funds for cancer research, touched Canadians and united a country from coast to coast.
In reality cancer affects almost every family in some form, and to date more than 750 million dollars have been raised worldwide for cancer research through the Terry Fox Run.
A challenge has been sent out to the students at Hubbard. If we can raise $800.00, one teacher will be duct-taped to the gym wall and another teacher will dye her hair blue. Wow!!
To support this cause a donation sent to the school by Friday, October 5, 2018 would be greatly appreciated. All donations will be forwarded to the Terry Fox Foundation.
FUN in FUNDRAISING!
Hubbard Orange Shirt Day 2018
On Wednesday, September 26, all Hubbard students are encouraged to wear Orange to honour residential school students, and their families. Orange Shirt Day is officially held every year in Canada to remember residential school students from First Nations communities.
At Hubbard we want to show our support for our First Nation classmates and students whose families have been affected. At our school we will hold an assembly at 1:00 on September 26th, and our Language and Culture teacher will visit classes this month. We want to ensure that we are helping to pass learning on to the next generations-because EVERY CHILD MATTERS!
Why Wear Orange? September 30th has been declared Orange Shirt Day annually, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and well being, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies Orange Shirt Day is also an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.
Woliwon-Thank You!
