PECI tallies $5,375 for Terry Fox
Prince Edward Collegiate Institute | Oct 20, 2011 | Comments 0
Students attending today’s Spirit Assembly will hear they raised $5,375 for PECI’s annual Terry Fox run held last Friday.
The awesome weather allowed many students to participate, and Panther Pride was out in full force. There was face painting, retro PECI jerseys for sale, and a fan favourite, “Dunk the Dukes.”
Overall, this was a great way for PECI staff and students to show their support for Terry’s cause. Thanks to our students and the local community for making it all possible.
