This year, D-E officially observed Eid Al-Fitr on Wednesday, April 10. To then celebrate the holiday as a community, our Middle Eastern Parent & Caregiver Affinity Group hosted a fantastic faculty and staff lunch (presented in a beautifully-transformed Hajjar Auditorium), and facilitated a Lower School toy drive. 4th & 5th Graders wrapped toys, action figures, dolls, board games, and more to donate to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. Dr. Ferdouse Sartawi P ‘32, ‘36, ‘34 also spoke to our Middle School (MS) students during a MS assembly about the meaning and importance of Ramadan and Eid, and related activities that her own family celebrates. Eid Mubarak everyone, and thank you to our Middle East PCAG!
