Terry Fox Teams Shine at Annual BHS Basketball Jamboree

Last week, Terry Fox Elementary was proud to send two travel teams and one lunch‑hour team to the Annual Basketball Jamboree at Bathurst High School (BHS). Our students represented the school with outstanding sportsmanship, teamwork, and energy throughout the day.

The jamboree brought together young athletes from across the district to enjoy friendly competition, develop their basketball skills, and build school spirit. All three of our teams played with heart—supporting one another, showing great effort on the court, and demonstrating the positive attitude we value at Terry Fox Elementary.

We were also excited to have one of our own players capturing fantastic moments of teamwork and action throughout the day. Their work helped us document a memorable experience for our athletes.

A big thank‑you goes out to BHS for hosting this wonderful event, as well as to our teacher coaches, volunteers, and families who helped make the day possible. We are incredibly proud of every student who participated.

Congratulations to our players on a fantastic showing!
Your dedication and enthusiasm make Terry Fox Elementary proud.

Spread Some Holiday Cheer with TFES!

As the holiday season approaches, Terry Fox Elementary is dedicated to supporting families in our community who may need a little extra help. Our goal is to ensure that every child has something special to open on Christmas morning.

For Families Seeking Support:
If your family could use assistance this year, please email [email protected] by December 5 with:

  • Your child’s name
  • One or two gift ideas ($50–$100)

Resources are limited, so we ask that only families who truly need support reach out. Families will be contacted by December 10 to confirm. All requests are handled confidentially and respectfully.

For Families Wishing to Donate:
This initiative is made possible through the generosity of our school community. If you would like to contribute, donations can be sent:

  • In a sealed envelope labeled “Christmas Support Fund” with your child
  • Or dropped off at the school office during regular hours

All contributions go directly to supporting families in need, helping to make this season brighter for every child.

Thank you for helping us spread joy and kindness this holiday season!

A huge thank you to the Lightning Chaleur for their visit to Terry Fox today.

Jack, Will, Jameson, and Mason spent the afternoon with Kindergarten classes, Grade 4 students, and Grade 5 classes. They read stories, answered questions, played games, and ended the day with a friendly (and competitive) game of dodgeball.

Their engagement, positive attitudes, and genuine enthusiasm made the visit a memorable experience for everyone.

We are excited for this partnership and look forward to more opportunities to support the Lightning within our community. Terry Fox students and families will certainly make up a strong crowd at their Saturday game at the KC Irving.
