Friday Feeling | Hearts, Minds, Hands – The Ottawa Catholic School Board

For this week’s #ocsbFridayFeeling, students and educators highlighted Holy Week with heartfelt reflections and some amazing Lenten projects that truly shone! The week was packed with energy – sports, science experiments, outdoor adventures, and some seriously cool structure-building powered by creativity, teamwork and big ideas. There was no shortage of love and warm appreciation shown to our awesome Administrators, and a big hug to Mother Earth in celebration of Earth Day.

The Bunnies & Hedgehogs have been busy working away on their “Jesus had a Holy Week” stories. Each page represents a big event from Holy Week (in chronological order) from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. ✝️@ocsbRE #ocsbLent #ocsbFaith pic.twitter.com/58ZoK3zZIa

It was such a blessing to work with @MrsRileyOCSB as we talked to students about what our @OttCatholicSB theme ‘We are called to open doors’ means to them. @StGiannaOCSB pic.twitter.com/BqxiSjpfCS
