Just a little note to aid in your conversations with your children after school...we sat for our first assembly today to kick off the Terry Fox Run and they were spectacular audience members! The school raised $500 for Cancer Research in Terry's name so thank you for your donations :-)
At their age we have minimal discussions about Terry but we did talk about the fact that he had cancer in his leg and had to have it removed. We talked about him being a Canadian hero who, with only one leg, endeavored to walk all the way across Canada to help doctor's find a way to stop cancer. They also heard that he was unable to finish his journey when the cancer spread throughout his body.
Hope you find this helpful! Have a fantastic 4 day weekend with your children! See you all back here on Tuesday.
