QMS Morning Announcements

Today is DAY 4 September 22nd 2026

DID YOU KNOW – Major hockey teams like the Vancouver Canucks and the Montreal Canadiens sent Terry autographed sticks during his journey.

📢 OUR QMS Terry Fox Walk is coming up THIS Thursday, September 24th!

We’re setting a school goal of $540, with every $1 donated counting as 10 kilometres toward Terry’s incredible journey of nearly 5,400 km.  Students can bring in $1 OR parents can make donations through Cashless Schools online.

The homeroom that raises the most kilometres will win a pizza party! 🍕

Let’s come together, get moving, and make a difference!
