Sunday March 10th marked the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days and during this time, Muslims pray, read the Koran and fast during daylight hours. After sunset, families will break their fast together with prayer and festive meals.
The festival Eid al-fitr (the feast of fast breaking) marks the end of Ramadan.
In collaboration with our Muslim and Persian students and community members, bulletin boards around Ramadan and Muslim identities have been created. Students enjoy pausing in the hallways to read the boards and admire the beaufiful images representing Ramadan.
Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing Ramadan at Aurora Grove!
