Several times throughout the school year our community comes together to collect food for those in need in Northumberland. The proceeds of our Food Drives helps support Northumberland Fare Share and we couldn't be more proud of everyone's generosity.
Since 2000, St. Michael Elementary School has hosted a Terry Fox event each September. We have kept it simple by walking or running around the inside edge of our schoolyard. Relatives and friends have always been welcome to support and cheer on the students from the fenceline. It has been great to witness the fun everyone is having, and to see everyone come together for such a worthy cause.
The fundraising efforts have been exceptional each year, and we are happy to say that our school has raised more than $25,000 to aid in cancer research.
"The first 20 years of my life, I had been very self-oriented. I had no concern for anyone but my own well-being. It took cancer to realize that being self-centered is not the way to live. The answer is to try to help others."
Terry Fox, 1979
