Riverside Students Raise Record Amount For Terry Fox Foundation

Despite a drop in enrolment, students at Ecole Riverside School raised more money than ever for the Terry Fox Foundation this year. 

 

Principal Jonathan Wamboldt said that the 370 students had a goal of $1500, but ended up bringing in $5132. 

 

The highest student fundraiser, a kindergarten student, raised $200. 

 

The students were motivated by a chance to soak volunteers, including RCMP Inspector Kevin Lewis, as every $25.00 raised meant one water balloon was theirs to throw. 

 

In total, 170 balloons were thrown.
