WILKIE ‑ There was a Remembrance Day assembly at Norman Carter School Nov. 10 for students and staff to honour those who fought and died for freedom.

Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions and space it was not open to the public.

Nov. 15 to 19 is Spirit Week at the school with each day having a special theme. Monday is PJs and messy hair and Tuesday is T-shirt Day. Wacky Wednesday encourages as many crazy colours and patterns as possible. Thoughtful Thursday puts forward the idea of doing something extra special for others and Friday is Freaky Friday, where teachers dress like kids and kids dress like teachers and staff.
