Group shines light on state laws requiring schools to accommodate students' religious observances ISBEnews KAAIllinois NapervilleNorth ICNMasjid
A suburban Muslim group is seeking to raise awareness of two landmark state laws that now require public schools to accommodate students' religious observances.
Yet, many Muslim families aren't aware such provisions exist, said Vaseem Iftekhar, NIAMA chairman and founder. "It is meaningful only if the school administrations, students and parents are made aware of this law and encourage implementation of this important legislation," Iftekhar said. Kids Above All provides early childhood education, foster care and adoption services, and housing support for teens and formerly homeless young adults throughout Cook, DuPage, Kane, and Lake counties.

Attractions include carnival rides, a petting zoo, a train ride, a fire truck, face painting, ethnic street food and carnival fare, henna and a bazaar. "Scuba diving is an extraordinary and empowering activity, and witnessing how Diveheart utilizes it to help individuals overcome physical and emotional barriers while fostering confidence and independence is truly remarkable," she said.
Wang will share the bookmarks within her school community, suburban public libraries and the Diveheart Outreach Center in Downers Grove.
