General Stewart Elementary School's Terry Fox Walk doubled its fundraising target.
On Friday, Lethbridge School Division Trustee Andrea Andreachuk, a cancer survivor and a former Kindergarten teacher at General Stewart, spoke to students at a special assembly.
Andreachuk spoke about her cancer journey and about Terry Fox's inspirational Marathon of Hope.
Afterwards, students went outside to participate in a Terry Fox Walk.
The school had set a fundraising goal of $500, and raised over $1,000.
