PWPSD schools honoured the 39th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run with fundraising campaigns and school run events this fall, generating $37,870.42 for cancer research. Many thanks to all PWPSD staff, students and community members for contributing to this worthy cause.

Whispering Ridge Community School was this year's top fundraiser, collecting $6,441. Beaverlodge Elementary School followed closely with $6,232. Robert W. Zahara Public School rounded out the top three, raising $5,345. As promised, Principal Lawrie McKeith and Assistant Principal Stacy Rorem were 'slimed' by students for beating their goal. Honourable mention goes to Wembley Elementary School where a Grade 2 student singlehandedly raised more than $1,500 of the school's $3,708 total, placing the school fourth overall for fundraising.
