Ramadan 2024
Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting. Practicing Muslim students will be fasting from dawn until dusk (approx 5:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
Fasting means NO FOOD and NO WATER. Ramadan celebrations often involve late night prayers. It is not unusual for students observing Ramadan to be up past midnight for prayers and then get up at around 4 am to eat before dawn & pray.
Ramadan 2024 will last from approximately March 9th to April 9th. Ramadan is scheduled on the lunar calendar the dates change each year.
