Friday Feeling | Merry Christmas! – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students wrapped up the 2023 Christmas season with birthday lunches for baby Jesus and beautiful Advent liturgies and concerts. They decorated delicious cookies, created kindness trees, and raised funds for causes close to their heart. Their educators helped them understand the true meaning of Christmas and that joy is in our hearts. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Ottawa Catholic School Board!

Last week, we each wrote one kind thing about everyone in our class.

Today we created kindness trees with all of the kind things our peers had to say about us!🎄 pic.twitter.com/g2MzHTSAO7

The Grade 6s performed a beautiful “Shadow Nativity Scene” to the song “A Christmas Hallelujah!” for our school Christmas concert. A big thanks goes out to all who made this possible! Well done Grade 6 @StLukeNepean pic.twitter.com/Rrdg9xzf4w
