Primeau held their Annual Penny Halloween Carnival and hosted the Notre Dame Grade 4 students. Every classroom held a different passport to adventure and thrills including a Justin Beber Gostbuster Scary Candy Relay, Find the Bug, Musical Chairs and Candy Fishing, Skaraoke, Haunted Head Toss, haunted house, Pumpkin Patch Treasure Hunt, Pin the Brain on Frankenstein, Skull Head Golf and much more.

A number of Primeau students also collected food items for the Food Bank instead of candy on their trick or treat rounds, food matched by Sobeys in Morinville.

  1. I’m just really pleased that Morinville still celebrates Halloween!

    With so many other jurisdictions opting to ban celebrants of ALL ages from having a little fun, our community’s efforts are really quite remarkable!

    A boatload of kudos to the schools for continuing a tradition older than any of us!!

    And just think – in less than eight weeks, it’ll be “Merry Christmas” time!! Whoo Hoo!

  2. James, why did you have to remind me? 😛 I haven’t done my shopping yet!
