Happy Friday Douglasdale Families! 

What a fantastic week we’ve had with the beautiful weather accompanying our annual Terry Fox Run! It was so heartwarming to see so many of our parents joining us for this meaningful event. The support from our community truly made the day special. 

A huge thank you to our Grade 5 teachers and students for all their hard work in planning and organizing the run, which included taking care of our newest runners in Kindergarten.  It was a wonderful opportunity for students to come together and honor Terry Fox’s incredible legacy, while also celebrating the spirit of community.

Looking forward to more great moments ahead!
