Are you curious about what some people in our WMS community are celebrating today? Today is Visakha Puja day which is a holiday celebrated by Buddhists and some Hindus around the world. Visakha 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: Buddha’s birthday, the enlightenment of the Buddha, and the death of the Buddha. 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 all students and families at WMS who celebrate Vishaka Puja, we wish you peace.
Don’t forget to submit your drawing for the 8th grade banner by this Friday, May 16th.
The bus to Boston will leave at 3:30 today. The late bus in Wellesley also leaves at 3:30. All students need to listen for the PA announcements for their departure from WMS.
Have a good day everyone!
