Terry Fox: Love in Action

While today was our official run, preparations for our Terry Fox Run began days ago.


In class we thought critically about heroes. We know that superheroes in movies have special powers, like invisibility, super strength, or shooting webs. Then we considered real life heroes, like healthcare workers, firefighters, police officers, and more. Their special qualities might include helpfulness, bravery, or kindness. We all agreed that Terry Fox is absolutely a hero because of his generous, loving heart. 


We brainstormed heroes in our own lives; family members, school staff, coaches, and more!

We were bursting with enthusiasm as we ran, skipped, walked, and  danced our way around the school yard for our own Terry Fox Run! 

Jesus calls us to show love to others, just like Terry did. Today was a beautiful day to be the hands and feet of Christ for others.
