Celebrating Diwali

By November 7, 2024All Programs
Many classrooms had presentations about Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, which is celebrated every autumn in the northern hemisphere. Diwali is a five-day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, and special candles and lamps. Clay lamps, called Diyas, are lit to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. 

Toddler students enjoyed stories and presentations during circle times and decorating paper Diyas.

Primary children listened to books about Diwali and made colorful rangoli designs and Diyas. Parents visited the classroom and shared about their families’ Diwali traditions and celebrations.

Elementary students had a special presentation on Diwali.
