Pupils to dress in pink for Olivia Pratt-Korbel's 10th birthday
The classmates of Olivia Pratt-Korbel will dress in her favourite colour pink for a day of celebrations to mark what would have been her 10th birthday.
The nine-year-old was fatally shot during a struggle when a gunman burst into her home in Liverpool in August. Head teacher Rebecca Wilkinson, of St Margaret Mary's Catholic Junior School in Huyton, said Olivia was "remembered in school every day".The schoolgirl was shot dead after a gunman opened fire near her family home in Dovecot.Fleeing the gunfire, Nee had run towards the open door of Olivia's home after her mother went out to see what the noise was.
Cashman continued shooting and a bullet went through the door and Ms Korbel's hand, before fatally hitting Olivia in the chest."It has been a huge shock to the community," said Mrs Wilkinson.Pupils have been encouraged to wear pink while a number of schools in the area are coming together for a community spirit festival to remember Olivia."And that's not decrying what has happened, but they did feel that Olivia would have wanted to do that.
