St. Peter's Teachers & Staff Did Epic Dance At Terry Fox Campaign Touchdown Assembly
/Another successful Terry Fox campaign was celebrated this week at St. Peter Catholic Secondary school—staff and students of St. Peter's raised an impressive $75,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation and cancer research.
The school set a number of incentives in September to motivate students to raise as much money as possible during the campaign. If students hit the $65,000 mark, their incentive was a large number of staff would perform the pop culture dance hit "Watch Me" by Silentó.
Well the students hit that mark. And they were thrilled to see their teachers "whip and Nae Nae" during Tuesday's touchdown assembly, where the fundraising grand total was announced and celebrated!
