Congratulations to Royal Oak students on a successful Terry Fox run! As a school we raised $729 and ran 1029 kms!!! We would also like to send out a MASSIVE THANK YOU to Royal Oak Sobeys for their generous donation of bananas. Our students were able to enjoy a healthy snack after their run.

Terry Fox Run – Friday, September 14 On Friday, September 14 th , Royal Oak School and William D. Pratt School will be participating in the Terry Fox Run.  Students will gather on the field between the two schools to take part in the annual 30-minute run, which is scheduled to begin at 11:00am.  Students attending morning Kindergarten are welcome to attend, if they are accompanied by a supervising adult. On this day please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for the weather (including running shoes).  If the weather is poor, students will walk inside the school during their PE class time. We are asking that each child donate a “Toonie for Terry” for the Terry Fox Foundation. Classroom teachers will be collecting the money all week leading up to the run.  All parents/guardians who are interested in joining their child/children in this event are more than welcome. We do require a fair number of volunteers for this event to ensure its success.  If you have

Hello Students and Parents! I hope you have all had a super active and fun summer! I am very excited to be back at Royal Oak this year as your Physical Education teacher. I have lots of fun, new activities planned and I can’t wait to get you moving. One really cool addition to our school this year is colorful decals on our floors. These decals are part of a kit called ‘Don’t walk in the Hallways!’ We all know that healthy students are better prepared to learn, active bodies = active minds. These decals are being placed in high traffic hallways and students will be encouraged to hop, skip and jump from decal to decal. I am very excited to see how students (and staff J ) will use the decals to increase their physical activity and work important movement breaks into their learning day. I look forward to seeing all of you next week and hearing about all of your summer adventures. Because I know that you are all excited to share your stories with me I would like to encourage you t
