Recognizing the Commencement of Ramadan, the Muslim Holy
Month of Fasting and Spiritual Renewal

WHEREAS, Bothell has a thriving Muslim community whose members contribute to our city as doctors, nurses, teachers, small business owners, volunteers, among others; and
WHEREAS, Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and spiritual renewal for Muslims worldwide, and is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar year; and
WHEREAS, Ramadan lasts 29 to 30 days based on the timing of the crescent moon; and
WHEREAS, Muslims around the world observe the month by fasting each day from the break of dawn to sunset; and
WHEREAS, the daily breaking of fast, called Iftar, at sunset is often celebrated by family and community gatherings; and
WHEREAS, one of the purposes of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is for Muslims to gain a better understanding of the plight faced by those who are less fortunate; and
WHEREAS, the end of Ramadan is commemorated by the Eid al-Fitr, which translates to the festival of breaking the fast,’ a joyous occasion marked by sharing sweets, gifts, and good tidings with family, friends, and neighbors; and
WHEREAS, the American Muslim community is among the most racially diverse faith groups in the United States; and

WHEREAS, an estimated one-third of enslaved Africans brought to the Americas, including the American colonies, later known as the United States of America, were Muslim and made innumerable contributions to the founding and construction of our Nation; and
WHEREAS, Ramadan reminds us that Islam has always been a part of America and Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mason Thompson, Mayor of the City of Bothell, do hereby proclaim April
2nd to May 2nd 2022 as the MONTH OF RAMADAN and I affirm our City’s commitment to
ensuring that our City values remain welcoming and compassionate and that we pursue policies

Ramadan and taking this month to honor the Muslim community and reflect on the health and

Mrs. Mcnease the Elementary School Teacher Who Asked for Prayer Mats for Her Muslim Students to Pray During Ramadan!!!

Mrs. Mcnease expressed her utmost gratitude to Azagil when she said, “As a teacher, it is important for all students to feel at home at my school. As I grow in my knowledge of other cultures and religions that are present in the community in which I live, I aim to learn all I can and provide support and advocacy. This year, our leadership team is taking strives to support our Muslim students during Ramadan. One of the goals I felt particularly drawn to was for students to have prayer rugs available at our school. Thank you to all Muslim community members who reached out with resources and thanks for and the generous donations from MCNA - Muslim Community Network Association
our school Kokanee Elementary School will be able to provide those who want to pray with beautiful prayer rugs.”

Kokanee Elementary staff made sure to send out an email to Kokanee students’ families reminding them of their Muslim neighbors and here is what it entailed,

Dear Kokanee Families,

We recognize the diverse religious backgrounds and values represented in our school community and the importance of being respectful to the needs of all students and staff. Making sure that every child feels supported requires deliberate attention, and this continues to be an ongoing focus of our work as we must intentionally look at how we serve and partner with all families in our community. As many of you already know, Ramadan is a Muslim religious observation month that includes fasting (including no water) from dawn until ​dusk.

Here are some ways we want to support your students during the month of Ramadan:

Space​: Lunchtime can be one of the most difficult periods to endure while fasting. We will provide a comfortable space for students to go to during lunchtime if they choose to. The space will have books, magazines, and other educational materials for students.

Prayer: Some students may request a quiet space for midday prayers. We have a space dedicated for this purposed in the main office. Students will be able to quietly slip away for prayer, and then return to their daily school schedule.

Our relationships and partnerships with families is key to the success of our Kokanee Kodiaks and we want to support our Kodiak’s during the period of Ramadan. Please reach out to your child’s teacher if your child will be fasting and/or will need to access the main office for midday prayer.

We would like to wish you Ramadan Mubarak.


Kind regards,
