Fly on the Wall at DVSS Terry Fox Run
Students at DVSS have worked hard to make a difference for those fighting cancer through their annual Terry Fox School Walk Run.
The school has been building on the event year after year and this time raised over $5,500.
One of its flagship fundraisers for the Terry Fox Foundation leading up to the event is its annual Cake Auction. This year was a record-breaker. Justin Morse, Landon Armstrong and Joel Wilton created this year’s top-selling cake, which fetched a whopping $1,140 at auction.
Other fundraising activities included a bake sale, students collecting pledges and online donations. Last week they also did a Taco in a Bag fundraiser.
Another initiative was the Fly on the Wall. Teacher Mr. Lauridsen spent a period of Wednesday, September 25 defying gravity, being held to the wall with tape.
