Celebrating ‘DYEversity’ at Lindsay Thurber
An event that brings together an entire student body in celebration of diversity will take place at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School in Red Deer later this week.
The annual DYEversity Relay is set for Sept. 20, starting at 11 a.m. The event will begin in the school’s main gymnasium, followed by the relay in the school’s outdoor field.
“The event celebrates and promotes the diversity of the Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive School community,” said Principal Chris Good. “It’s more than just a fun activity. It’s a celebration of the many cultures, talents, and stories that make our school what it is. This event allows us to embrace and promote the incredible diversity within our community.”
School officials say the relay will kick off with an address from 2021 Lindsay Thurber alumni and Olympian Molly Simpson, who recently returned from the 2024 Paris Olympic Games where she placed fifth in Women’s BMX Racing.
