Hi, my name is Roqaya, and I’m a sophomore. This is my first year on staff. In school, I’m involved in badminton, Interact, Best Buddies, Student Council Elect, Principal's Advisory Board, and Muslim Student Association. Outside of school, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, cooking, watching movies, and working out.

These bright lights, lanterns and crescent moon decorations adorn this house to celebrate Ramadan. The crescent moon and star are Islamic symbols. Lanterns have always been a traditional decoration that many Muslims around the world put up every Ramadan. The pillows in the back say “Ramadan Kareem” in Arabic writing, the dominant language of Islam.

What is Ramadan?
