Upcoming events for the week of September 25th
On Thursday September 29th is Johnny Lombardi's first Terry Fox Run. Millions of students across Canada take part in this run. Terry Fox started his marathon in 1980 and needed to stop his run after 143 days in Thunder Bay. Now we continue on with it 36 years later. He believed that anything is possible if you try. Terry Fox Day is a day for celebrating Terry Fox and helping to bring his dream of finding a cure for cancer alive. We are asking students to please contribute a tooonie to our fundraising efforts. Thank-you for your support.
On Friday September 30th, Johnny Lombardi school will be participating in Orange Shirt Day. The Orange Shirt Day movement started in 2013 to highlight the pain and suffering of thousands of indigenous children who were sent to residential school throughout the last century. We are asking students to wear the colour orange on Friday to recognize the resiliency and bravery of Residential Survivors by wearing something orange. Please ask your child to retell the information they were given by their teachers regarding this day.
