In accordance with Proclamation No. 256, June 17 will be observed as a non-working day at Our Lady of Peace School to mark Eid’l Adha, a significant religious holiday for Muslims around the world. This proclamation, recognizing the importance of Eid’l Adha, emphasizes unity and respect for cultural diversity and inclusivity within the community.
Eid’l Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham in Christian and Jewish traditions) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. It is a time of reflection, prayer, and charitable acts among Muslim communities globally.
This holiday provides an opportunity for our community to learn about the cultural and religious diversity that enriches our school environment.
