Introducing...

Introducing our wonderful 1MW superstar work! Please click on the "1 MW Superstar Student Work" link on the right to view our work. We have been working on a “Rights of a Child” slideshow to demonstrate what we learned during our inquiry unit. When we finished, we learned what a blog is and how to post to a blog. We are so excited to share our learning with others. Be sure to check this page periodically for more student work!

Terry Fox Run Information for Tomorrow

What is the TAISM Terry Fox Run?

The TAISM Terry Fox Run has become a special tradition over the past nine years, raising awareness about cancer in a hopeful, uplifting way, and raising funds to help improve treatment for children here in Oman with leukemia. There are routes for both younger and older students and adults on and around the TAISM campus, as well as assemblies and events in each division.

DREAM BIG!
Terry Fox had a dream. As a teenager, Terry got treated for bone cancer in his left leg, in a children's hospital ward in British Columbia, Canada. He lost his leg, but he was cured of cancer. However, when he left the hospital, he couldn't leave behind the memories of those other kids who were also fighting cancer. Terry decided the best way to help was to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research, with one artificial leg. Now, 35 years later, Terry's dream is still inspiring people all around the world, and his dream unites us all here at TAISM to keep fighting for his dream of a world without cancer.

Where does the money go?
All funds raised during Terry Fox Runs outside of Canada stay in the country where they were raised. Funds raised by TAISM will be donated to a childhood leukemia research project at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital.

See you December 10th!
