🧡Truth and #ocsbReconciliAction Week: Day 1- Ss listened to Betty Ross (a Residential School Survivor)’s story. Then we read “When we Were Alone” & drew pictures, words to show the contrast of home and school.🧡@ocsbindigenous #ocsbarts #ocsbBeCommunity #ocsbHope pic.twitter.com/eZywvCqfJm

Today in Gr7 Religion we made buttons for Orange Shirt Day. This week we focus on Truth & Reconciliation. We acknowledge our calls to action as educators & we push forward a new generation of learners who have empathy, understanding, & who can honour Residential school survivors. pic.twitter.com/P91oUZPAMd

My grade 5's are all dressed in my favourite colour today…orange!

Grade 3 read and reflected about Phyllis Webstad’s story called ‘With Our Orange Hearts’. Then the Ss created paper orange hearts to display in our school ‘garden of love’. @OttCatholicSB @CorpusOCSB @ParentsCorpus @ocsbindigenous pic.twitter.com/dAuWdLJw3K
