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.

Honoring Truth and Reconciliation

On Monday, September 29th, our school gathered in the gym for a special assembly led by a member of Pabineau First Nation to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Students and staff took time to listen, reflect, and learn about the importance of truth, healing, and the ongoing journey toward reconciliation. We are grateful for the meaningful stories and teachings shared with our school community.

A Hands-On Journey Through Acadian History

On September 12, our French Immersion students enjoyed an engaging trip to the Village Historique Acadien. Students toured the site to learn about daily life in the past, including how schools once operated, and they noticed how homes changed over time as they walked through the village. The day also included some fun outdoor playtime at the park.

Highlights included:

  • Sitting inside an old-fashioned schoolhouse
  • Observing the ducks by the water
  • Exploring homes from different time periods

It was a wonderful mix of history, culture, and community.
