San Francisco has become the first school district in California to observe Eid holidays.
 


Muslim holidays will be observed this coming school year for students in San Francisco, the first city in California to make the decision. 

The holidays to be observed are Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, two of the most important days in the Muslim calendar, marking the end of fasting after the end of the holy month of Ramadan and the festival of Abraham sacrificing his son to God. 

The decision came about as the result of a teenager’s class project at Raoul Wallenberg High School. Sara Ouchene did a project advocating for schools to observe Muslim holidays, which last year resulted in a petition that she and her peers circulated.

Her teacher then brought the idea to the San Francisco Unified School District. The Arab Resource and Organizing Center put forward a resolution to the school board, with all but one commissioner voting in favour of the proposal.    view all
