Shrove Tuesday: Feasting and Fun!

Today is Shrove Tuesday. It is the last day before Lent. It is a day of feasting and fun!

Boy, did we feast today! Our energetic and generous Parent Council served a hot, delicious pancake and sausage lunch for everyone in the school. Can you tell we loved it?



Sometimes Shrove Tuesday is called Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday. On this day, people would use up the rich  foods in their fridge that were often not allowed to be eaten during Lent, such as milk, eggs and butter. Add a little flour, and you have pancakes!

Thank you, Parent Council, for serving such a delicious pancake lunch! Many, many thanks to Save On Foods in Summerwood for sponsoring the event and generously providing all of the groceries, free of charge! 



Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. It marks the first day of Lent. We will gather as a school community at OLPH Church for mass at 12 pm. We will all receive ashes on our foreheads. If your schedule allows, please consider joining us!
