HO HO HO…The holidays are coming – and with them, questions about whether and
how you can recognize them in your classrooms and schools. Do you have a
Christmas break? How about a Christmas calendar? Or a
holiday concert with Christmas carols or sacred music? Or a tree…a crèche
… a menorah?
Attend this breakfast briefing and learn how to handle these holiday concerns
and get the answers to the following (and other) questions:
- How can you use holiday decorations without violating the First Amendment
prohibition against governmental endorsement or promotion of a religious point
of view?
- Are school performances of music, literature or art that recognize the
holidays permitted?
- What should you do about students who want to give everyone at school candy
canes with religious messages or even plain candy canes?
- What should you do about students whose religion forbids holiday
celebrations and/or students who feel left out because they cannot
participate?
This session will be held from 8 - 9:15 am. Continental breakfast provided.
There is no cost, but space is limited. RSVP by November 11th to Kim LeBlanc at
207-791-3224 or by email: kleblanc@preti.com.
