Relay Results!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in KSS Relay For Life 2021! This year’s event was extremely successful thanks to the participation and generosity of the KSS community. Students, staff, family and friends came together to make the most out of the virtual format and exceeded the KSS goal of $13,000, raising a total of $15,992.20 for the Canadian Cancer Society. These funds will go towards cancer research and various support programs for those battling cancer.

There were various highlights from this week including the ice bucket challenge, bingo cards and a day of Relay Olympics! The teachers rocked the Relay Olympics, while the students showed their school spirit with impressive bingo cards. Did you get drenched in icy water?

One KSS Relay for Life team (known as The Frogs) got creative with their fundraising for The Canadian Cancer Society by initiating a very fun games night that connected the KSS community and beyond in a virtual format. The fundraiser included trivia, Pictionary and lots of laughs.

Other fundraisers included the KSS Relay Art Auction, Raffle 4 Relay, and the KSS Candy Guess! There were fantastic prizes to be won all throughout the month of May. Winners are currently receiving their prizes. Thanks to all participants!

The KSS Relay for Life ended in an epic ceremony on Friday, May 28th. All teams were in attendance to claim their various spirit, theme and fundraising awards. After an intense game of Kahoot where players competed to see who knows our school best, we moved on to the long-anticipated part of the night: Coffeehouse! Featuring talented KSS students, teachers and alumni, Relay for Life participants were treated to an amazing night of music. Missed the event? Don’t worry! You can watch the Coffeehouse here.

Thank you to all who participated in KSS Relay For Life this year. Together as a KSS community, our collective efforts have continued to make a positive difference in the fight against cancer.
