Hello, my name is Hafsah Peracha, and I am a student at Middletown High School and the respective Muslim Student Association President. We are petitioning to recognize Eid as a religious holiday in the Appoquinimink School District. Eid is an important celebration for many students, families, and staff in our community, and we believe it should be officially acknowledged as a school holiday for students to congregate. As of this current moment; the 2025-2026 ASD SCHOOL CALENDAR HAS BEEN FINALIZED AND THE COMITTEE WILL NOT Reconvene. FORTUNATELY, they will LARGELY considerate for eid to be added to the Calendar. However the work here is NOT done. For the ASD parents and students - PLEASE fill out the feedback survey that will be sent out regarding the school calendar. And for the January - March months, please send out as many requests to the ASD committee to include Eid, together I am sure we can accomplish this. Thank you.

If you have any questions or would like to further support this cause, you may email me at: Hperacha2@gmail.com or stay updated on this MSA’s Insta @middletown.msa

Thank you once again!
