For the first time ever, Miami-Dade County Public Schools will let students stay home for Eid, a festive day in which friends and family gather to enjoy meals together and exchange presents after a month of fasting from sun up to sun down. The holiday marks the end of Ramadan, Islam's holiest month.
Anjum, along with many Muslim students, has spent the last 30 days fasting from dawn to sunset, reflecting on her relationship with God and feeling compassion toward the less fortunate. She looks forward to celebrating Eid by wearing traditional attire and spending time with family.
