Today is the first day of Ramadan, which lasts for four weeks. Ramadan is a special time celebrated by many people, including some of our friends and classmates. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset as a time for reflection and giving to those in need. Families and friends gather for special meals called iftars each evening! If you have friends who are fasting this month, they may be a little more tired than usual, so please be kind and patient with them. If you’re curious to learn more, let your teachers know!
