The Islamic Heritage Month Committee, in partnership with the Equity, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression Department, is offering students (Grades K-8), families, and staff the opportunity to attend the virtual session of Salat in Secret: Love and Belonging in Community Spaces.
Two sessions are available, one for staff and students and one for families/guardians/caregivers, both will be offered on Monday, January 29, 2024. The community session will take place from 6 to 7 p.m.
Both sessions commemorate the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action Against Islamophobia. Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow, critically acclaimed author of Your Name is a Song and many other celebrated children’s books, will engage TDSB students, along with their caregivers and families, in an interactive storytelling session focused on courage, conviction and the importance of prayer spaces. The session is designed for students in Grades 4-8, who will attend with staff during the day, and/or for students in Grades K-8 with families and caregivers during the evening.
