What is the Eid ul-Adha holiday?

Sometimes known as the Feast of Sacrifice it is a very important in some Asian cultures. The celebration actually starts on Friday and will end on the following Tuesday.

It is important that you check your own districts schedules to see if you do or do not have that day off from school. Understandably, some parents struggle when kids have days off during the week when work is still happening.

Parents have to find child care for young kids when they have to go to work. It is not easy and some parents even argue that if there were not so many federal holidays, kids would be able to graduate sooner. Of course, there is a lot more that goes into that that. In fact, because we live in New York State there are a certain amount of days that are built into the school schedule to handle and accomodate snow days.
