Were excited to invite your3rd to 5th grade child (during 2024-2025 academic year)to take part in a special Eid activity onSaturday, June 7th (2nd day of Eid)!

As part of reviving a beautiful tradition, small groups of children will visit local families to enjoy:

A quick 20-minute visit
A fun activity (can be a story from the host or a short hands-on activity or watching a short fun video)
A small treat to take home!

This is a wonderful way for kids to celebrate Eid together, connect with the community, and make happy memories. We are keeping this small and simple as a first-time trial, so spots are really limited. We will confirm your child's participation and details as we get closer to the event. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Please sign up by Wednesday, June 4, so that we can work out the logistics before the EID.
