Terry Fox Walk and Mental Health & Wellness Day at CGS

A fall update from Children’s Garden School

CGS had another amazing Terry Fox Walk this year! We braved the chilly weather to walk together, and everyone showed their CGS spirit by encouraging each other and not giving up. We were so impressed by our wonderful students and their families who came out to support us. In the weeks leading up to the Terry Fox Walk, we were fortunate to have a visitor from the Terry Fox Foundation come to tell us all about what is done with the money we raised and how it is used to help people.

CGS is so grateful to our wonderful community for raising an incredible $22,000! We can’t wait for next year’s Terry Fox Walk!

CGS recently had our annual Mental Health and Wellness Day. This initiative was started during the pandemic to ensure that we were making our mental health a priority and helping to encourage those around us to do the same. Our classes all participated in wellness promoting activities throughout the day, such as yoga, meditation, artistic activities, and making sensory jars. This day reminds us to take the time to reflect on how we are feeling and what we can do to feel our best. Mental health and wellness will continue to be a priority at CGS throughout the year and we look forward to continuing these conversations with our students.
