South Brunswick schools to close for two Muslim holy days
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/08/south_brunswick_school_board_a.html


As a Muslim growing up in East Brunswick, Atiya Aftab missed classes and had to make up school work to be with her family on two important holidays: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, and Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice.

As a mother of three in South Brunswick, Aftab has seen her children go through the same thing.

Until now. . . .
