Ramadan, a sacred month of fasting, reflection, and community in Islam, begins on the evening of Friday, February 28, 2025, and ends on the evening of Saturday, March 29, 2025. During this time, many Muslim students and staff in the Sea to Sky School District will observe fasting from dawn to sunset, along with prayer and spiritual devotion. Ramadan is a time of generosity, self-discipline, and growth. We encourage our school community to learn more about this important tradition and celebrate the diversity that enriches our district. We have included a video you can share with your children about why fasting is an important part of some religions—wishing peace, love, and harmony to all. Ramadan Mubarak!
