Greetings
By the end of the day of (date of last day of Ramadan), (your child’s name) would be achieving a remarkable accomplishment by completing a whole month of fasting. (Date on which the Eid is expected) will be the day of celebration for the Muslim community worldwide.
(Your child’s name) would like to share information with his/her class on the fasting, the celebration and the various cultural practices of various racial and ethnic groups within the Muslim community. He/she would also like to bring to his/her class some small gifts of candy and sweets that are store bought (use only store bought and sealed items).

Please advise us of your preferred time and proper arrangements, in the hope that it will be a very good educational experience for both students and teachers.
