On Friday, September 9th students, friends and family of Millarville Community School participated in the annual Terry Fox Run/Walk. Following the event the grade 8s watched a 30 for 30, ESPN Films documentary on Terry. It was beautifully directed by Ezra Holland and basketball star Steve Nash. They were then posed with the question, “How can Terry's journey… his struggles… his hope…apply to your life experiences?”
Here are a few snippets of their responses.
