We are gaining momentum but we need to push past the 500 signature mark to get the school board's attention. Post this link to your Facebook page right now and text three friends to ask them to sign.

This decision would not even affect me personally, because I go to a Catholic School, however I believe that public schools should treat all religions equally when it comes to honoring holidays.
Eid is a very special day for Muslims in Islam which occurs twice a year. One after month of fasting and another coincides with the Hajj (Eid of Sacrifice). We would highly appreciate recognition of these days similar to other religions holidays. Thank you
Having Eid as a holiday is extremely important. The fact that it us not recognized by the district left my sons unable to practice their religion freely.
Recognizing the 2 Muslim Feasts are urgently needed for Libertyville growing Muslim population.
As an LHS alum, I would highly encourage giving Eid off as a religious holiday. The Muslim population at LHS has grown significantly since I last graduated May 2017. In order to show respect for these students, we need to acknowledge eid as a holiday. This would be a logical conclusion since Jewish and christian holidays are already given off for all students. Thank you:)
That’ would be amazing

Every student should have the right to practice their religion without it affecting the academic work. This not only creating an inclusive environment for students of all religious but also of all nationalities/ethnicities.
