November- Retroactively

 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.
