Friday Feeling | Our Lenten Journey Begins – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, educators and students had their hands and tummies full as we celebrated 100 days of school, Shrove Tuesday, Valentine’s Day and the beginning of our Lenten journey with Ash Wednesday services. Some of our high school students are having an amazing journey in the Northwest Territories witnessing Reconciliation in action.

Today we made prayer hands for Lent. Students shared ideas about what they are giving up for Lent and ways to become closer to God during the Lenten season. 💟✝️ @StElizabethOCSB pic.twitter.com/wkOBatRiQi

Making and remaking the maze is just as much fun as coding the Beebot. I just love the excitement the kinders have for these coding tools! ⁦⁦@StGeorgeOCSB⁩ pic.twitter.com/JLScUEBk3X
