All of this week you have been asked to reflect on who you as a Catholic learner. As a Catholic learner you are asked to be what God intends you to be.

What does God intend you to be?

As a student in a Catholic school, you are nurtured to become your very best including being a responsible citizen in your school, community and of the world. Below is the definition of the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectation of Being a Responsible Citizen.

As Responsible Citizens we are called to promote peace, justice and the sacredness of human life. This means we are called to show love for all people and to put others before ourselves.

A Responsible Citizen role model is Canadian hero Terry Fox. For over 40 years, The Terry Fox Run takes place each September in memory of Terry's sacrifice to raise awareness about cancer research and to raise money to help people living with the disease and to find a cure.

Watch the following video from the Terry Fox Canada Foundation.

Let's celebrate Terry by bringing his words to life.

Visit the following website choose a Terry quote.

1. Using the Show What You Know Student Choice Board below, bring one of Terry's quotes to life. This can be through a poster drawing, painting or collage. Be Creative. Celebrate your God given talents and gifts.
