Friday Feeling | Picnics, parks and outdoor fun – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students and educators enjoyed an outdoor retreat, had a blast cooling off at a splash pad and cuddled up at a cheerful Teddy Bear picnic. They explored weight in a hands-on, engaging lesson and let their imaginations come alive with hula hoops. Some students also got a sneak peek at their classrooms for next year—and, as always, they shone brightly with their kindness and enthusiasm.

‘Pp’ is for our Teddy Bear Picnic 🧺
We enjoyed a snack outdoors on this beautiful day. We are getting into the home stretch and enjoying our last bit of the #ABCcountdown @StMaryOCSB pic.twitter.com/nO9KCcApVn

Hula hoops and a great imagination definitely are highlights of recess play for our Bears. @HannahBeachEDU pic.twitter.com/PxhD4xsnFT

🌈 For Pride Month, we read God’s Dream—a beautiful story about sharing, caring, loving, and respecting one another. Inspired by its message, we turned our tree arch into a rainbow to show our love and support for all people. 💖 #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbEquity @StMonicaOCSB @ocsbRE pic.twitter.com/UY4pMGdqmI
