EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD TERRY FOX, BC never saw himself as remarkable. Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma - cancer - just above the knee, the subsequent amputation of his leg and experience in the cancer wards changed him forever. A newly nurtured reservoir of compassion, combined with a fierce determination to bring an end to the suffering cancer causes, Terry Fox set on a path that, quite simply, changed the world. You can change the world for someone as well by participating in our Terry Fox Fundraising events like BINGO in the library at lunch next week, coin drives leading up to our walk on Thursday September 26^th and our Dodgeball Team Challenge the week of September 16th. Stay tuned to announcements for more information.

Here’s my study strategy! I’m going to win my next match. Here’s how I’m prepping! I’m going to raise 25% more than I did last year for Terry Fox!

When you ‘Try like Terry,’ you can accomplish anything! Terry Fox believed we could have a world without cancer if we raised enough money for cancer research. So he began to plan his Marathon of Hope. His goal was HUGE! He wanted to run from St. John’s, Newfoundland, to Vancouver, BC, and inspire Canadians to give money for this very worthy and important cause. Sadly, Terry didn’t make it to Vancouver, but he sure did inspire us! It has been 44 years since the Marathon of Hope and Terry has helped raise more than $900 million!! Now it’s our turn! It’s time to set – and achieve – our own fundraising goals. We are off to a great start - keep those coins coming, join up for BINGO and prizes in the library $1 for 3 cards, sign up for  the Dodgeball Challenge $5 per team of 5 on Monday and Tuesday next week! Here are our Coin Drive Results so far:

Ms. Connor $12.35

Ms. Avery $19.10

Ms. Ellis $25.10

Ms. Foster $26.95

Ms. Harnden $63.10

Mr. Demill $75

TERRY FOX

It’s time for a Terry Fox Moment. During his Marathon of Hope Terry set a goal to raise $1 million for cancer research. He crushed it. So he upped his goal: he wanted to raise $1 from every Canadian: there were 23 million of us back in 1980. Almost no one – except Terry – believed it was possible for a 21-year-old, one-legged runner to raise $23 million. But Terry crushed that goal, too! Today, thanks to kids like us and people from all around the world, more than $900 million dollars has been raised in Terry’s name! That money is helping the very best scientists in Canada discover new and better ways to diagnose, treat, and prevent cancer. The moral of this story is simple: You, too, can crush your goals if you Try Like Terry! Join us today at  lunch for BINGO and Prizes in the library $1 for 3 cards. Keep your coins coming you're doing amazing:

Ms. Aiello, Ms. Connor, Ms. Avery and Ms. Ellis have raised just over $60, Ms. Foster's Class has raise $51, Mr. Demill $100.86 and Ms. Harnden has a total of an amazing $151.05!! We are rocking this coin challenge - Lots of time to crush Harnden with 2 weeks left to bring in your coins or bills, it all helps!

They started off slow playing Haliburton keeping the game close but just out of reach of a win. The boys beat ST. Thomas Aquinas in the second round and faced off against the powerful Kenner team losing 2 straight. Everyone played well and we saw some amazing play stopping blocks by Jordan, stellar repeating digs by Phoenix, Outstanding serving by Tyler, as our Libero - Logan didn't disappoint and kept the ball in play, Scott placed the ball with perfection earning us much need points. The excitement of the day and the memories created, inspired Tucker to buy a souvenir to remember it by - a  stuffed fish whose tail wiggled provided Logan with a pillow to sleep on after a tiring day on the court. I also hope everyone is feeling relieved and was able to eliminate some much needed bodily waste after the long and possibly smelly ride home.  Boys volleyball practices next week will be on Tuesday and Wednesday in preparation for our games on Thursday at PHHS beginning at 11am.

Did you know that the ingredients in candles control how much smoke a candle produces AND which chemicals it puts into the air?  Candles made from paraffin wax, for example, which is a petroleum product, release more volatile organic carbon chemicals like toluene, which is a carcinogen.  Scientists recommend using beeswax or plant based wax candles instead.  Beeswax candles produce less smoke and have a brighter flame!  The Environment Club is selling all natural, Dancing Bee products like candles and honey this month.  Order online using school cash OR talk to an Environment Club member today!

Environment Club Fundraiser 

Did you know that the ingredients in candles control how much smoke a candle produces AND which chemicals it puts into the air?  Candles made from paraffin wax, for example, which is a petroleum product, release more volatile organic carbon chemicals like toluene, which is a carcinogen (causes cancer).  Scientists recommend using beeswax or plant based wax candles instead.  Beeswax candles produce less smoke and have a brighter flame!  Only three days left of the Environment Club’s Dancing Bee fundraiser!  All natural, Dancing Bee products like candles and honey are for sale.  Order online using school cash OR talk to an Environment Club member today!

Hi PHHS Families! Our senior drama class has been busy putting together a production of Alison William's Mmmbeth. We would love for you to join us! 

Our community performance is on January 16th at 5:30 PM at Port Hope High School in the Main Gym. Doors open at 5:00 PM. Tickets are by donation at the door ($5 suggested).

This is a silly comedy spoof of Shakespeare's Scottish play. The witches lead the storytelling, our Banquo is a great dancer, and our Queen Duncan would rather open a donut franchise than die.

The show run is approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. We would love to see you there!
