Starting this evening at sundown, February 28-March 29, many of our students and community members will be celebrating Ramadan.
West Genesee CSD wishes all of those who celebrate a month filled with the joys of family, community, peace, & understanding. Ramadan Mubarek and Ramadan Kareem.
Ramadan is a quiet, reflective time of worship, prayer, helping others, and spending time with loved ones.
Muslims that are 12 or older fast during Ramadan, not eating or drinking anything between sunrise and sunset. Fasting reminds Muslims to appreciate their blessings and to help those in need.
Families get up for an early meal before the sun rises called suhoor, and the fast is broken with an evening meal after the sun sets called iftar. #RamadanMubarek #RamadanKareem #Suhoor #Iftar
