It was Spirit Week on March 27 to 31 at our school and students had a great time dressing up. On March 27, it was Pajama Day, Tuesday was Twin Day, Wednesday was School Colour Day, Thursday was Class Colour Day, and Friday was Crazy Hair, Hat, and Socks Day. It was a great week with lots of participation.
March 29 was also our school’s annual perogy supper. Donations for the gym floor were accepted and the floor plan was displayed. There was an abundance of food and great community participation. Over 300 people came out. So thank you all for your support. The evening was a success.
This week has been a busy week for the students and staff attending Norquay School, but we are always up to the challenge and enjoy conquering them as they come.
