Our students participated in the Terry Fox Marathon of hope today. In the assembly led by the grade eight students we were reminded of some character traits of the young man who exemplified compassion in his Marathon of Hope. The students and teacher spoke of Terry’s compassion, perseverance, empathy, and determination. He used the gifts God gave him to the fullest. These qualities are admirable and biblical. We desire to see these characteristics in our students as well. Next week we will host the Special Olympics Ontario 4 corners event at our school. Many of these athletes will demonstrate perseverance and determination using their gifts to their fullest potential. It is an opportunity for our students to join them in their perseverance while showing Christian charity and compassion. It is a wonderful experience and opportunity for our students to share the love of Christ with others while being salt and light in our community. Please pray for our school as we approach this event and we pray it will be a blessing for everyone involved.
