On Monday March 11th, 2024 the month-long spiritual period of Ramadan began, and with it routines of fasting from dawn to dusk for Muslims who observe. In the school setting children whose families observe typically do not fast, however adults in the community such as muslim parents, staff and faculty may be fasting. School leadership may use the moment to acknowledge and support their staff members who are observing Ramadan.
Our instructional designer and editor Zeinab Mzungu, who is also observing Ramadan, crafted this wonderful blessing which can be downloaded and shared on school walls or in school emails to show appreciation for Muslim staff and teachers during this spiritually important period of reflection. Below is also a guide for school communities on acknowledging and supporting the holiday and those who observe it.
