Good Morning! Bom Dia! Three more days until the Civil Rights Team Day of Welcome! Today, we wear purple for religion. Religion is a set of beliefs about people and the world, how they came into being, and what their purpose is. These beliefs are usually connected with higher powers (like a god, gods, or spirits) and certain ideas about right and wrong behavior. Examples of how people identify their religion include: agnostic/atheist/no religion, Buddhist, Christian (including Catholic, Jehovah’s Witness, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and Protestant), Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim. There are many, many more. Remember: All religions are welcome in our school. If you would like to help your Civil Rights Team celebrate the Day of Welcome, don’t forget to wear Red and White on Friday!
