Ramadan and Fasting Plans
Ramadan begins at sundown this Friday, February 28th, and we know that we will have GBW students who will be fasting in our community. To provide a more comfortable alternative to the cafeteria, all fasting students are welcome in the library during lunchtime. Please inform your child’s classroom teacher if your child plans to fast. This will allow us to proactively support their needs during the school day.
