On September 26, Land O' Lakes Public School hosted its 10th annual Timber Wolf Run. North Addington & Granite Ridge Education Centres, as well as Prince Charles and Clarendon Central Public Schools sent students from grades 1 to 8 to participate with the Land O' Lakes students.
Jen Meulenaar, the Grade 1/2 teacher and running coach for Land O' Lakes Public School, organizes the Timber Wolf Run along with the help of staff, volunteer parents and former students. “This is a great chance to get the northern schools and southern schools together to have some fun and get some exercise,” Meulenaar said. “The kids always enjoy it.” This year, the students of Land O' Lakes also learned about Terry Fox and raised $84 for the Terry Fox Foundation.
In preparation for the Fort Henry Regional Meet next Thursday, students from grades 1 and 2 ran 1km; grades 3 and 4 ran 2km; and grades 5 through 8 ran 3km (distances approximate) up and over the hills behind the school.
