Ramadan Mubarak!
Also, please feel free to collect and share photos of family celebrations, dinners, or decorations of your observances of Ramadan and Eid with Ms. Conigliaro. We have a global community here at Lake Bluff, and students love sharing their traditions and learning about those of others.
For non-Muslim families who are interested in learning more about Ramadan, you can look at this article: Ramadan and Distance Learning: Insight from Two Muslim Parents, or you can check out this picture book: Night of the Moon, by Hena Khan.
