November
Early Child Celebrated All Religions' Month with four stations:
Islam Ramadan Read Alouds
Hinduism Diwali Song & Golden Spoon Hunt
Buddhism Meditation/Mindfulness
Judaism Dreidel Games
Special thanks to the brilliance of Ms. Judy Clay
for putting together this enriching and age-appropriate experience for our youngest learners.
Lower School and Middle School
were treated to 7 speakers representing 7 faiths.
Station 1: Episcopalian,
Station 2: Judaism, Islam, and the Albanian Orthodox Church
The speakers shared about why their faith is important to them,
what it is like to share your faith with children,
special holidays, habits, or traditions of their faith,
and how faith is a journey.
The speakers were highly engaging and switched deftly
between addressing Lower School students and Middle school students.
The Students had amazing questions
that opened our eyes to the power of the panels sharing!
Special thanks to those who shared of themselves and their faiths with our 1-8 students.
Special thanks to the brilliance of Mrs. Goyer (nee Kathol)
for putting together this powerful and moving experience for our Lower and Middle School students.
