Friday Update - September 24th

Good Afternoon,

 

I’m wondering where the week has gone.  It flew by so fast and here we are at Friday again.  Today is our Terry Fox run and the kids are pumped to raise money for such a good cause and honor Terry’s accomplishments.  We are running across Canada making sure we stop at all the spots Terry did while he was on his run. 

 

Today I would like to invite you to stop and think about someone special and remember the incredible things that they accomplished.  Tell stories, listen to memories, watch old movies and share with each other how important this person was in your life.  Enjoy your weekend and we will see everyone on Tuesday!
