Students in Mrs. Cain’s kindergarten class at Nassakeag Elementary recently enjoyed a special lesson about Eid, thanks to two visiting parents. Lilah Awadallah and Fortuna Anannya, both parents of students in the class, read a book about the holiday and shared its cultural significance with the young learners.

The interactive session introduced the children to the traditions and celebrations of Eid, helping to foster a greater understanding of different cultures and holidays. Through storytelling and discussion, the students learned about themes of generosity, family and gratitude that are central to the holiday.

The visit was a meaningful opportunity for the class to expand their knowledge of diverse traditions, reinforcing the importance of inclusion and cultural awareness in education.
