I would
like to thank our students, staff and alumni for a wonderful Terry Fox Run –
“Run for Ray” event held on Friday at Rockwood Park. Ray’s entire immediate family plus other
relatives were able to join us again this year.
Even with the weather not cooperating fully the family atmosphere was
wonderful making for a great event. In
the end, the school raised over $ 5,000 and still counting for a great cause. Thank
you again to all who took part in this year’s Terry Fox Run - “Run for Ray”
event.
In the spirit and
support of truth and reconciliation, tomorrow Monday October 1 it is Orange
Shirt day at St. Malachy’s. In honour
of Orange Shirt Day and in the spirit of healing and reconciliation, there
will be a screening of the feature film Indian
Horse beginning at 12:30 in Room 220. It will require 2-3 sessions to
watch the entire film.
Congratulations to St.
Malachy’s Golf team who competed in the Regional South/West tournament in Hampton
on Friday during some challenging weather conditions. Members of this year’s
