Women's History Month

📢 March is Women’s History Month! 🌟

During the month of March, we celebrate Women’s History Month, a time to recognize the achievements, contributions, and resilience of women throughout history. This is a great opportunity to highlight the incredible impact women have made in various fields—science, literature, politics, activism, and beyond.

This month, our school will be incorporating Women’s History Month into our lessons and activities. Whether it’s showcasing influential women in a subject area, engaging students in discussions about gender equality, or incorporating projects that honor women's achievements, these efforts help inspire and educate our students. We aim to foster an environment that uplifts and honors the contributions of women past and present.

We encourage you at home to take this month to empower our students with stories of leadership, innovation, and perseverance.

Ramadan

📢 Recognizing & Supporting Students During Ramadan 🌙

As we enter the month of March, we want to take a moment to recognize and support our students and families observing Ramadan, a sacred time for Muslims around the world. This year, Ramadan begins on the evening of February 29 and ends on March 29 followed by the celebration of Eid al-Fitr.

What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is a holy month in Islam marked by fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. During this time, many Muslim students may be fasting from sunrise to sunset, refraining from food and drink during school hours. It is also a time of increased prayer, generosity, and self-discipline.

How We Support Our Students
We want to ensure that all students feel comfortable and supported at school. For students who are fasting, we are offering:
Alternative spaces during lunch for those who prefer a quiet place instead of the cafeteria.
Understanding and flexibility from teachers regarding physical activities, such as PE and after-school sports.
Encouragement of kindness and respect as we learn about different cultures and traditions.

A Learning Opportunity for All
We encourage all students to show empathy and curiosity by learning about Ramadan from their classmates and teachers. Understanding different traditions helps build a strong, inclusive community where everyone feels seen and valued.

To our families observing Ramadan, we wish you a blessed month! Ramadan Mubarak! 🌙💙

Music

Music in Our Schools Month

For 40 years, March has been officially designated by the National Association for Music Education (NAfME) as Music in Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®) — a special time when schools and communities across the nation celebrate the power of music education.

At Gavilan View, we are proud to have a vibrant music program led by the talented Ms. Diane Gehling. Our program offers Intro to Band, Intro to Orchestra, Choir, Advanced Band, and Advanced Orchestra. Ms. Gehling also leads a lunchtime Guitar Club, giving students another opportunity to explore their musical talents.

We encourage you to celebrate MIOSM® as a family by listening to music together and exploring different genres. Music is a universal language that brings people together — let's make it part of our everyday lives!
