Odyssey Of The Mind

On April 7th, two Odyssey of the Mind teams competed at the BC Provincial Final. One of the teams composed of Simon Rai, Lucas Lazzaroni, Eric Kim, Joleen Su, Anastasiya Zhukova, Tai Jiun (Terry) Lin and Hyunjun Ko was presented an animal-themed performance that centered around a balsa wood structure. The structure they built weighed 15 grams and was able to hold upwards of 500 pounds during a practice run - a feat which had never been accomplished before in the BC finals. They went into the competition hoping to win, but things didn’t go as planned and they finished in 2nd place. The Mokumenatry team composed of Justin Ayotte, Livia Marino Horvath, Heather Jamieson, Mina Kim, Natalie Phuong, Tanya Thomas and Esther Ng (with the moral support of Aura Silvia) was tasked with a problem to twist a classic fairy and be creative with the elements of it. All of this in a span of five months. With hard work and strong efforts, the Mokumentary team was awarded 3rd place out of the many other schools that took part.
Be The Love Legacy Project Update by Katie Streeper, The Founder of Be the Love

It’s not just any school but one that serves some of the most underprivileged kids in the area. We work with many kids that attend this school and recently we came to know about their breakfast program. Parents pay the equivalent of $0.80, and their children are given breakfast porridge every day for an entire term. Great, right?
Not quite...Out of a school of 240 students, only 90 kids could afford it. The rest went without. And a vast majority went without any food for the entire day - no breakfast, no lunch, no snacks... Teachers shared stories of kids collapsing during gym class, students not returning after lunch, enrollment being impacted ...So with your support we decided we could do something. We tasked the school administration to come up with a list of 50 kids who were the hardest hit l, spending the entire day at school without food, and we (YOU) paid for breakfast for them. A couple days ago I went to check on them and was amazed to find out that now the ENTIRE school is getting breakfast! 240 kids! The school administration was so touched by our contribution, they also added additional money from their school budget to ensure no child would be left out. The incredible ripple of love! Small acts have potential to create big impact! THANK YOU for showing up and volunteering your time to fundraise for us!!! Your efforts are making a BIG difference!

"A Dog’s most defining characteristic is their loyalty. They will never abandon their friends, family or work. Honest and just, they are popular in social circles. Everyone needs a Dog friend for advice and help. They are also good at helping others find and fix their bad habits. Despite how they act, they are worried and anxious inside. However, they will not let this stop them. Once they decide on something, no one can persuade them against it."

It is very light took less than an hour to design and print. Best of all, it eliminates all shipping costs and only costs pennies in material. Students can learn how to 3D print objects in our new club called ‘Terry Fox Innovation Society’ every day at lunch in room 104.
Terry Fox Link Crew Supports the Surrey Shoebox Project

This November, the Terry Fox Link Crew has been busy supporting the Surrey Shoebox project. These shoeboxes are filled with much needed items, such as warm weather gear, toiletries and other personal care items. Link Crew students, fundraised, donated and purchased enough items to build 51 (one more than their goal) shoeboxes to be donated. We also had numerous donations from generous Terry Fox staff members that helped us reach this goal.
The recipients of these boxes come from an array of different backgrounds, including seniors 55+, new and expecting mothers and women of Aboriginal ancestry. Many of these women have fled abusive relationships and are now transitioning into a safer living environment. Depending on the shelter/transition house, women may be able to stay between a few weeks and several months. Sometimes when times are rough, it seems like all hope is lost and there is nowhere left to turn. The shoebox gift is a powerful reminder to recipients that they are not alone and that they are a valued and respected member of their community.

International Student From Iran Joins Football Team

It would be easy for a 17-year-old who is attending a new school, in a new country while learning a new language to retreat into the shadows and simply survive on the sidelines until graduation day.

We for She Conference 2016

Erika and Carly met our Premier, Christy Clark when 20 Terry Fox Students accompanied by Ms. D’alfonso, Ms. Chung, Ms. Fuller, and Ms. Murphy attended the We for She 2016 Conference.  Students heard speeches from dynamic and successful role models from business, technology and politics. Some good take away quotes from this conference were:

    - A woman can be nice and successful.
    - We need to instill more confidence in our female students.  I might should be I will.
    - Women must focus on building each other up, celebrating each other's success, rather than breaking each other down, with criticisms and jealousy.
    - Change will not come if we wait for that other person - Christy Clark quoting Barack Obama
    - As women, we need to choose to be agents of change
