~Day 2
Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community commemorated on Sunday May 15th? It was Vishaka Puja day which is a holiday celebrated by Buddhists and some Hindus around the world.
Vishaka Puja day, also known as Buddha day or Vesak, is the holiest day for Buddhists and is celebrated by Buddhist communities all over the world. It marks the three important incidents in the life of Buddha – birthday, enlightenment and death. Some Buddhists also listen to Dhamma preaching, and go to temples for special observations. It is also a time to reflect on the teachings of Buddha and what it means to be Buddhist.
To those students and families who celebrate Vishaka Puja, we wish you peace.
Today’s behavioral expectation topic: Earbuds and phones need to be in backpacks and lockers only. This is an important school policy, and is written about in the student handbook. The reason is we want you to focus your attention on your schoolwork, and that is done best when we can eliminate distractions such as your phone. We also want you to hear any directions or announcements for safety reasons. Earbuds can prevent this from happening. Put them away and finish strong!
