Lenten Activities to Do At Home...
Lent is a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. By observing the 40 days of Lent, we replicate Jesus Christ's sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. It is a special time in the church year when we focus on spiritual things and do things that bring us closer to God through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This school year, Lent begins on February 18th, 2026

Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day
Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet. Each year, on Pink Shirt Day, we are encouraged to wear something pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere.
Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and over the Internet. Each year, on Pink Shirt Day, we are encouraged to wear something pink to symbolize that we as a society will not tolerate bullying anywhere.
It is so important that victims of bullying know they are not alone and there is help and support available. Wearing a pink shirt on this day sends a strong message to them that others care. Often, the simple act of wearing a shirt can start conversations - conversations can be a big step towards healing and helping!

How to Make Window Decals to Help Migrating Birds
How to Make Window Decals to Help Migrating Birds
In Canada more than 25 million birds are injured or die from collisions with windows because they cannot see them. You can help reduce this by creating decals and placing them on your windows to help birds see the glass. Help keep migrating birds safe, while also encouraging your child’s creativity at the same time. With this fun activity, your child will see how their actions can help make a difference.

Directions:
Directions:
- Pour 2 tablespoons of glue and ¼ teaspoon liquid dish soap into a container for each color decal you’d like to make.
- Add a few drops of food coloring into each container to create different colors. Stir each container until the colour is mixed in completely.
- Use your paintbrush to paint designs with the colored glue mixture on your plastic sheet. Keep the designs thick enough that they won’t break when you peel them off. They might spread out a little as they dry so leave space in between your decals.
- If you have cookie cutters, you can also pour the colored glue mixture into the cookie cutters to create specific shapes.
- Allow the decals to dry overnight.
- Slowly peel the decals off the plastic and press them on to the inside of your window. They can be peeled off when you are finished with them.
- To help migrating birds, keep decals a few inches apart across wide window spaces so that birds don’t accidentally fly into the clean glass.
