Eid Milan Party We Celebrate The Laughter Together! Eid Milan Party was celebrated at Beaconhouse A ock on November 16 in order to create awareness about the importance of this event for Muslims. They were introduced to the concept of sacrifice and, most importantly, they came to know how we have to bow our heads in front of Allah’s will. With the oath of listening to their parents and to give respect to their words, they started their day and spread happiness in every inch of the school.
We conducted different ac vi es amongst the students such as dumb charade and musical chairs. Although all the kids were looking fabulous, but Artaash from Nursery dressed in Sherwani was chosen as ‘Boy of the Day.’ At the end of the ac vi es, the children were given goodie bags as they all were special guests on that day.
