Friday Feeling | Creativity, Conversations, and Community

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students were busy with visually beautiful works of art, whether working with chalk, paint or even wool. Important discussions and reflections took place about anti-racism, allyship and the unique beauty and strength of all children. The week rounded off with an exciting badminton tournament for some of our elementary schools.

Monday we celebrated #ocsbUnitedInBlack @OttCatholicSB. We read one of our favourite books about MLK Jr. & discussed love, understanding & acceptance of ALL! 🖤 We all have a dream… ♥️ @StBrAndreOCSB @ocsbequity pic.twitter.com/U2jPp9kHNn
