Terry Fox Run
Our annual Terry Fox Run was held on Wednesday, September 24. Staff and students dressed up as their favorite superhero to pay tribute to Terry and the superhero he has been for so many people! If you are able to donate, students can bring cash donations to their homeroom teacher next week.
Online donations will be accepted up to and including October 2, 2025, here is the link: https://schools.terryfox.ca/98193
Our fundraising goal is $2500.00, and some staff members have offered to do some wild and whacky antics in support of our fundraising efforts. It would be great to see all of them have to complete their challenge!
Let’s help keep the Marathon of Hope alive and help support cancer research.

Parent/Spectator Expectations at MidSun School Sporting/Athletic Events
With basketball and soccer season upon us, please review our Parent/Spectator Expectations at MidSun during School Sporting/Athletic Events.
Here are a few guidelines to ensure a positive environment at our school sporting events:
- Relieve pressure, don’t increase it. Our young athletes already face enough pressure from competition. Let them enjoy their experience without added stress.
- Let the athletes have their moment. The athletic experience belongs to them. Cheer for their effort but allow them to grow through their own performance.
- Respect the judgment of officials and coaches. Their decisions may not always align with your perspective, but it’s important to demonstrate respect for their role and maintain control.
- Show sportsmanship in all outcomes. Win with humility and lose with dignity. Your attitude in both moments is just as important as the final score.
