Dear Parents:
At Crestwood we are proud of the commitment we have made to Community Service in the past. We are beginning the 2020-2021 school year with our annual Terry Fox Walk/Run, which will take place during the day on WEDNESDAY, September 30TH, 2020. Students should be in their House t-shirts, Crestwood gym shorts or track pants and running shoes for the walk/run. All classes will participate with their teachers, Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Brenzel. A schedule will be created whereby class cohorts will run together.The goals of our Terry Fox Walk/Run are fun, fitness and fund raising for the Terry Fox Foundation for Cancer Research. Last year we raised $5,700.50.
Since 1995 we have raised $ $214,093.90 for Cancer research. This year we encourage students to fundraise on-line ONLY (no paper pledges):
Our school’s fundraising link is:

We will continue collecting money until Friday, October 16th, 2020. Students must be reminded that while collecting pledges is an important part of this activity, they should ask family members and friends for a commitment. The amount of the pledge is not important; all donations are meaningful.
Terry set goals everyday. It’s great to see students follow in his footsteps and do their best to reach their personal goals, whether it is to increase their endurance or speed while participating in the run. Due to current health concerns surrounding COVID19, we regret to inform parents and guardians that this event is for our student body ONLY. We look forward to our first school event held in a safe, socially distant manner.
Together, we can all make a difference!
Sincerely,
Sherri Brenzel, Athletic Director
