I am in the midst of reading "Terry and Me", by Bill Vigars. As many of you know, tomorrow is the annual Terry Fox Run. The story never grows old, and reading Bill Vigar's story, once again, bring tears and wonder at how he accomplished what he did, and is still doing. I hope you are all able to participate in some way tomorrow to honour the memory of Terry.

Thanks for this reminder, Michele. And for the book rec.

I never cease to be amazed by the story and accomplishments of Terry Fox. I love that as a school community we continue to honour our Canadian hero. Students in 2024 are just as moved by him as we are. Unfortunately more and more of them have been touched personally by cancer.

Just a word of caution. The editing was really bad but the story comes though, regardless.

Shetland is a great series! We loved it and would love to visit Shetland someday as Scotland is one of our favourite destinations.

That last quote about having sons was heartbreaking!!!
