From @nhs_librarybellevue: I’ve moved the new book display from the dark corner…to right up front when you walk in to the library. Freshmen are checking out their choice books this week, my favorite week of the year!

Ramadan Mubarak to all of our students, families and community members who are celebrating! 

The evening of Wednesday, March 22, begins the Islamic tradition of Ramadan which concludes on April 21. Ramadan begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon and marks the ninth month of the Muslim calendar and the holy month of fasting. People of the Muslim faith observe this spiritual month with fasting, prayer and introspection. The obligation to refrain from eating or drinking from dawn to dusk during the time of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of the religion of Islam. 

In some communities, drums or bells ring in the predawn hour to remind others to take part in the meal before dawn, suhur. After sunset prayers, fasting is broken with a meal shared among families and friends called iftar. In Muslim-majority countries, work hours are often adjusted during the month of Ramadan to accommodate acts of worship. 

The end of Ramadan, one of the two major religious holidays of the Muslim calendar, is the Feast of Fast-breaking, Eid al-Fitr. During this celebration new clothes are worn, special sweets are baked, gifts are exchanged, and families and friends gather to pray and share meals.

March 20, 2023, marks the arrival of the #spring equinox and the celebration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year. In Persian communities throughout the world, this celebration dates back over 3,000 years. Its etymology traces to the Persian word 'now' meaning new and 'ruz' meaning day. It is a celebration of new life and new beginnings. 

Highland Middle School celebrated #Nowruz today with a Haftseen, a ceremonial table filled with symbols of #hope and #renewal.

Happy Nowruz to all who celebrate!

From @mind.of.murphy: I'll be honest, while we're facing some tough times as a district, Dr. Aramaki's presentation to kick off our PD this morning was profoundly encouraging and heartfelt, and made me genuinely interested to see the impact that he has on the district in the coming years, both as a teacher and a parent of my BSD kindergartners. Truth be told he had me with "joy is a donut and cup of coffee.” ☕️🍩👨‍🏫
