Ash Wednesday
Today we gathered with Father Gerard to celebrate Ash Wednesday with him. It is very different to have an ashless Wednesday. Please take a peek at this document that helps us explain to our children why we Fast, Pray and Give Away during the 40 days of Lent. Our Lenten project this is year, looks a little different. We will be working with other schools in our board and our community to support North of 60 at St. Vincent de Paul as we support Rankin Inlet and the sending of a container of food up this this community to share with those in the north. Each day we have a daily challenge to help us make a "difference in our world" here at St. Emily and at home. At the same time, we will be gathering money to share with North of 60 to fill a container up as full as we can during our Lenten journey. |

Kindergarten Registration - It is not too late
Explore Kindergarten at the OCSBChoosing a school for your little one is a big decision. When it’s time for your child to start Kindergarten, consider an Ottawa Catholic school. We do more than teach your child information– our staff works together to nurture your child ensuring your little one is supported, equipped and encouraged to grow into the person God designed them to be. This global pandemic has demanded us to be creative and flexible with how we offer Kindergarten, and we’ve stepped up to the challenge by working with families to come up with solutions. For some families, it works best to only send their child for in-person school a few days a week, while others feel the full-day program five days a week is the best option for their child. Whatever solution works best for your family, your child’s safety and wellbeing are our top priority. We’re eager to work with you to come up with a plan that works.Kindergarten Registration

#ocsbAdvent challenge
It’s been a challenging year, and while our plans for Christmas might look different from years past, the real meaning and purpose of this season remain unchanged. Advent is a time of anticipation and waiting for the birth of Jesus. So don’t let the beauty and deep meaning of Advent get away from you!
Join us in the #ocsbAdvent challenge, where we can share our faith while waiting in joyful hope! Share a photo on social media following our theme of the day.
