A few more notes for those children who may be fasting:

• Students who are fasting will be staying indoors for recess. They will be supervised by Ms. Saima in Ms. Olivia's classroom, where they will also gather during snack and lunch periods. This will be a quiet, reflective, and restful time for them. 

• Students will also be given the opportunity to pray. This will occur during Period 10 when children will be in Islamic class, with the exception of Monday, Day 9, when they will go to the ES Conference room between 1:00-1:15 to pray. 

• Students will go to PE with the class, yet will not partake in any physically demanding activities. If they prefer to sit on the side as a spectator, that is also perfectly acceptable. We want to make the week as pleasant as possible as they build their fasting skills and challenge themselves in a greater way spiritually.

We are looking forward to a wonderful last week together during this very special time! 

Thanks so much for your support.
